Has anyone asked to keep your work mobile number after you leave the firm? Mine allows the phone number transfer, and the currently active mobile data plan will come with the number (21 out of 24 months of minimum commitment left). But the firm refuses to “sell” me the phone (I offered to reimburse the 3 months of data charges paid by the firm). Is this reasonable? If the phone comes “free” with the data plan, it seems logical to me that the phone should also travel with the data plan?

Can you get a new phone and plan and port the number over? If you’re paying for a fixed phone plan currently that essentially is payment for the phone, you should just give them back the phone and phone plan so you’re in the clear in terms of paying it and only transfer the number.

All these weddings are blowing my mind and budget. I've had 5 weddings so far this year with several more to go by EoY. On top of that I've been asked to be in a lot of them which adds additional time commitment and cost. The cost of a bachelor party + shitty men's warehouse suit rental + travel and airbnb for the weekend + couple hundred bucks for wedding gift means I'm blowing tons of money for these weddings but I feel bad to say no.
