If the phones are used just as a source of keeping employees in contact with the job, then anything more than a voice plan is a potential source for the problems. Eliminate the data plans and you may be able to cut down on their shit.

Unfortunately, everyone has text capability. They either have a text 300 plan or a full data plan if they have a PDA type device. I can block 3rd party charges with Sprint, but I have to do it line by line, can't do it for the whole account. We have about 150 lines and I'm trying to avoid having to spend the time on the phone with a CSR doing that.

Oh PLEASzE don't get me started on corporate stupidity! Ok, I'm gonna try this, but you KNOW how I can be...

Effective immediately, any frivolous charges made to company cell phones will not only result in you paying the additional fees, but will also result in a $10 surcharge (wage-deducted) PER OCCURENCE. After 3 occurences, you will be suspended. After 5 occurences, you will have plenty of time to text and play on YOUR phone as you will be unemployed. If you want to find your IQ, please see the size print on the bottom of your shoe.
