I bought a OnePlus Open and I was excited to get it up and running, only to find out that it isn't supported on my company's BYOD policy. Unfortunately there is not an accessible page on restrictions for mobile device eligibility, and it wasn't until I requested IT support that I found out that there's essentially a blanket ban on essentially all Chinese phones. Bummer, as I'm out $1000+ now.

Yep, there have been bans on Chinese tech for years now on the client side and most of our firms mirror client restrictions.

smart

Yes, lesson learned. As a relatively new addition to the workforce, I was well aware of the Huawei and ByteDance bans; OnePlus came as a surprise to me, as they've enjoyed continued sales in the US without the same restrictions as imposed on other Chinese devices. My only gripe is that my company has an accessible FAQ mentioning the ByteDance ban, but not mentioning mobile devices. Now I know!
