I have found that in this situation, outlining a business case with real world cost benefit analysis of several options helps the management types with an agenda see the light of day without losing face.
Outline in a business case that you are keen to meet company pollicies, but as you are no longer able to utilise your mobile phone for the work purposes you outlined, you require:
a) a pager and company cell phone or equavalent to maintain the current levels of service;
b) a company provided other doo-hickey remote support solution (fill in the blanks here);or
c) special expemption to utilise your personal cell phone, with an allowance to reimburse you for the relevant quiantity of your monthly bill.
For each of the options, outline the costs versus the benefits to the company, and make a reccomendation on the preferred options for the company, and outline why.
I have found this approach works wonders with managers.
I found a company that had an active IDS once... It would respond with 400Mbit/sec DoS traffic back at anyone that triggered the IDS...
It took me about 3 minutes to show them how to turn it into my own personal Death Star...
