I haven’t seen a pager since I started in this business. When was the last time you were over here Radoslaw, you might be aging yourself there... 😊 Pretty much everyone has cell phones, but I doubt that many are company issued any more. For us they are not. No biggie, I'd have one anyway, and cell minutes are no longer a metered item. I do have company apps on my phone, not an employer requirement, more for my own convenience.
However, you wont catch me working from bed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma AVP | Manager, Systems Engineering Fifth Third Bank | 1830 East Paris Ave, SE | MD RSCB2H | Grand Rapids, MI 49546 616.653.8429 | fax: 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of R.S.

Just curious: In Poland and IMHO in Europe almost any office employee has company cell phone. In my company it is mandatory. I don't know any person form IT world (IBM, EMC, HDS, HP, local companies) without the cell phone. For years. What about US? I visited US many times and in the past I was amazed how popular the pagers were, when we were using cell phones. From the other hand I learnt that telco services in US are significantly cheaper than in Europe. Note: we are using smartphones and many company application are available in the phone. That allows me to start working early morning in bed. I don't have to do it, but it is just convenient. It's not only answering emails, but also accept requests (I'm manager), calendar schedule, password reset tool, Skype (inside company, and external), address book, etc. Total it's about 25 applications. Of course it's inside secure container and connected via VPN. As someone wrote, its' 2020, not 1950. However I say: it's 2020, not 2000. You don't need big PC to do many things which you can do from the phone. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ====================================================================== Jeśli nie jesteś adresatem tej wiadomości: - powiadom nas o tym w mailu zwrotnym (dziękujemy!), - usuń trwale tę wiadomość (i wszystkie kopie, które wydrukowałeś lub zapisałeś na dysku).
