Except when critical for business purposes, mobile device users may not use non-plan features that incur additional charges (e.g. multimedia messages, directory assistance, navigation, etc.) b) Only the approved individual (to whom the device was issued) may use a Corporate Device; mobile device users may not loan their devices to others.

c) Whenever possible, mobile device users should avoid high cost international mobile roaming (the phone will identify when roaming and is configurable to disallow roaming) charges and international long distance charges, (anytime the user is traveling international) by utilizing lower cost public toll or calling card services. The international roaming features can be temporarily enabled for occasional planned travel. d) In general, mobile device users should utilize direct-dial numbers and not Company toll-free numbers for calling Company locations and voicemail since the Company mobile plans include long distance charges at no additional cost. e) Mobile device users must not use any mobile device that is Company managed, used for Company business, or connected to Company resources for any fraudulent or illegal activity. f) Mobile device users must comply with regulatory and Company defined use restrictions (e.g. refrain from using or texting on the device when located in designated hazard areas, when operating machinery, while driving a vehicle-unless earpiece use is specifically authorized, during air travel when device use is prohibited, etc.) Reimbursement Policy: a) For Company provided devices, all charges must be submitted via a Master Bill. Reimbursement through the expense reporting system will not be allowed. In addition, the Company will not reimburse any recurring Personal Device charges.

All other upgrades and nonstandard accessories are the responsibility of the mobile device userand are ineligible for reimbursement.

As such, mobile services can at any time be suspended or terminated by the Company. b) Upon termination of employment, the mobile device user shall render all Company mobile equipment to their immediate Manager. c) Upon termination of mobile services all mobile device users agree to make their Corporate Device(s) and/or Personal Device(s), available for review, data wiping, and return to original settings, if required.

Corporate Devices will be retained by the Company for redeployment. d) If the Corporate Device is no longer under a service contract and the account can be cancelled without termination penalties/fees, with appropriate Manager approval, service can be terminated on the device and the device returned to the individual. If the device is under a service contract, with appropriate Manager approval, the individual may be allowed to pay any and all termination penalties/fees and the device returned to the individual. The phone number will remain a corporate number under the name of Company, however, with appropriate Vice President level approval the number maybe be transferred to a personal service plan on an individually liable account.
