I don't have a smartphone (nor do I want one). Yes, I realize I'm a very small minority. I agree that if work wants us to use cell phones for work purposes, they should provide us with one (I do have a flip phone, but it's also almost never turned on). I wish
there was an option for an email multi-factor authentication instead. <br>

Of course, in this scenario, it's not really our own work requiring the cell phone, but it's the vendors. I think the "problem" is that so many people always have their smartphones with them and turned on, it's just assumed one will have it and be willing to
use it for anything (work, included).<br>

<i>As a settler of German, English, Irish, and Scottish descent, I grew up in what is now known as Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan: Treaty 4 territory, which encompasses the traditional lands of the Cree, Ojibwe, Saulteaux, Dakota, Nakota, Lakota, and Métis peoples.
I have lived in Mohkinstsis (now known as Calgary) for 32 years, on the traditional territory of the Siksikaitsitapi (the Blackfoot Confederacy): the, Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations. This is where Treaty 7 was made in 1877 between the British Crown
and the Blackfoot, as well as the Tsuut’ina, and Iyaxe Nakoda peoples. This place is also home to the Métis Nation, Region 3.</i></p>

Vendors and other sites required for technical services work are starting to require a cell phone number for multi-factor authentication via an authenticator app or sms. E.g., to login to admin sites and get usage statistics. We do NOT want staff using their
personal cell phones for business purposes, for multiple reasons. It's highly unlikely our institution will provide us with cell phones!<br>
