Why not?

Why so cheap...

It's free ! You aren't stealing. I iMessage from my work phone all the time. Wrong ?

iMessage is free. Skype is a service that Deloitte pays big bucks for. BTW, I used to work in IT. They track this all the time, just don't flag it unless you are a repeat offender

Also M1: "Reasonable" personal use of work phone is allowed in policy. 80:20 to be precise, as per guidelines

Yeah . I think till the point you're not doing anything illegal it should be fine

I use it everyday....my wife talks for hours....no guilt...also D never asks, its VOIP, I pay for data...

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
