Our department has switched for the most part from MSU-owned phones to
employee-owned phones.
In the past, I did have a department-owned phone, and the detailed phone
records were always there. I never worried about documenting non-campus
calls, but then the plan I was on had plenty of minutes, so there was no
marginal cost for those calls.
