At a previous job, everyone had their own company cell phone, but due to on-call rotation of the department, it became an issue of confusing execs and everyone with the weekly changing on-call phone number. We wound up buying what would be considered a burner phone with limited minutes on it (since it was a very low volume emergency only after hours number), and just passed the phone around when the rotation changed. It sucked because when it was my week to be on call, i had three damned phones I had to carry around, the burner, my individual company cell, and my personal cell. I tried just using the forwarding to send it all to one phone, but got in trouble for "personal use" by getting personal calls forwarded to the company cell. It was a real pain in the ass.
