Combining work and personal

[darktink82]

I'm trying to decide wether I should put my work sim and business related apps on my personal phone. I have a nasty habit of forgetting to take my work phone out or check it after a certain time (self employed) which means I'm missing out on stuff i need to reply to. But not sure if it's a wise idea to have both sims in one phone as am worried about not being able to keep a strict line between work and home (which my husband says I seem incapable of doing already) and not sure on a few technical areas, such as if i can have a perdonal whatsapp & snapchat and a business whatsapp & snapchat on the same phone with different sim and will my work photos stay separate from my personal as i have different google accounts for each one. has anyone else been in this situation and can you help?

Hi @darktink82 👋 

I suppose it's down to personal preference and what works for the individual. 

I use my phone for both work and personal however I totally understand those that use two different mobile phone's to keep things entirely separate from each other.

Thank you. Do you have separate numbers and sims for each, or do you have everything on one number?

I tend to use separate phones for personal versus other stuff. I like the fact I can just put the work phone away or put it on silent and not be interrupted when I don't want to be. Also don't trust myself not to use my personal sim by mistake! But agree it's really down to personal preference

That's a good point, thank you

I myself have work email only on my personal mobile (I also have a company mobile that has the full suite)

I'll be honest though, I do check my emails several times each evening and again at the weekend so tempted to remove it all and keep the two very separate.

Thank you, that's really helpful
