We generally do not pay for any data plans for any devices directly. We have a stipend program for some select employees whose jobs require hour contact. The policy is here:
https://www.oakland.edu/policies/business-and-finance/206/ Executives used to get a one-time stipend for the actual phone, but I don't think that's been used for a while. All phones are personally owned devices. We treat tablets like any other computer, but we don't allow university funds to buy data plans. There is much discussion about eliminating the policy and require a cell phone as part of a job description. Two VPs really want to implement that this year; we'll see.
