I work for the government, so anything on my work phone is subject to FOIA requests. As a result, no personal information, including personal texts, goes to my work phone. It sounds as if you probably don't work for the government, but your employer may feel they have a right to anything on the phone for which they reimburse you. Clarify that before making any decisions. Even there, I'd err on the side of caution and assume that if your employer ever felt the need, they'd try to access everything, both business and personal, on your phone.
I concur. I work for a major healthcare organization and they have our work phones looked down quite tight. Some of my colleagues use it for personal use but I also carry my own phone. it's a pain but that way if they ever need to remote wipe my phone for HIPAA reasons then it's not a big deal....
