Are you allowed to use smartphone at work?

[Heatman]

Have you ever worked in a company or any business establishment where it's totally prohibited to use your mobile phones during working hours? The only times mobile phones are allowed to be used is during your break time. If you're caught with your phone during working hours, it might result to being sacked. 

Would you be open to working in a place with such conditions in place?

I haven't had my phone at work in like 7 years thanks to emanation security.

Yes, and I kind of have to use it, because we rely on WhatsApp to communicate!

We are allowed to as long as it is not around any equipment that is sensitive to radio waves and doesn't interfere with work.

Yes, it is not a problem where I am working now. I mean, you are allowed to make use of a smartphone at my workplace as long as you are not being distracted by it.

It's actually with this problem of being an interference with work that some workplaces ban the use of smartphone as long as it's your working hours. For example, those working in Walmart are not allowed to use smartphone while on duty.
