Hello,I will soon be joining Accenture at Consultant level. Am I correct in thinking that they don't provide mobile phones until Manager level? What are the arrangements for company calls...do you just claim for business calls made or is there any further subsidy?

What happens if u don't have a personal mobile phone or perfer not to use it? Does that mean ur bosses can't contact u?? How are u supposed to stay in touch with people if they don't give u a mobile phone and ur travelling all over the place??!??!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Consultants are issued with 5 carrier pigeons each as part of induction for precisely this reason. They are expected to return these intact when promoted to manager.

The provision of 5 Carrier Pigeons is not extended to the FLANDERS PIGEON MURDER!!!!Beh!

This seems to be a regular question from Accenture wannabes...can anyone actually confirm the policy so we can put this issue to bed!!!!!!

I like the i-Phone.

Mobile phones need to be *approved* by managers but consultants can get company phones. Most managers I've met would be more than willing to approve such requests, even for personal access to the corporate Vodafone contracts.

What about for analysts?

Why are you so bothered about mobile phones? You should be more concerned about dealing with the challenges you'd face in your career, and not worry about unimportant things

My daddy's so rich he bought me my own mobile phone........and i'm only 8!So na na na naaa na to you consulting types. Us kids have phones (like several billion other people in the World!)Get a life!
