Default Electronic "Leashes"

Anybody here have a company-issued (or spouse-issued, or boyfriend/girlfriend-issued, or . . .) cell phone or pager or blackberry or similar electronic leash?

Why?

(Throw in company-issued (or whatever) PDAs, too, if you want.)

All of the above... company issued pager, (used to have a company issued cellphone), testing some blackberry junk, throw a palm in there too... maybe I'll become a pet store owner, they don't have any leashes... oh... DOH!

call it a leesh.. or call it a perk... I don't mind having it usually... but then again... I've never been in an environment where being on-call was so unstable that it was a nuisance.

Pager. Gotta keep those servers running. I think friends end up using it more than work does, however.
