Does the new policy cover data-only contracts for PDAs, 911 only calls, pagers, or other devices where no outgoing calls can be made?
Communications devices that do not have a cell phone calling capability such as “push-to-talk” devices, walkie-talkies, pagers, and similar devices are excluded from the new policy. PDAs with a data-only capability are also excluded from the policy. Employees who receive devices excluded under the policy are not subject to imputed income or eligible for a cash allowance.
