RMO No. 40-2003: Amends the policies and guidelines in the use and payment of official cellular phones

Key points

1. Retirement or resignation. The official cellular phone is returned to the Chief, General Services/Administrative Division for re-issuance.
2. Transfer to another office. If the new office also has an official cellphone assigned, the assignee may keep the unit first issued. The office where the official is re-assigned handles and pays the billing.
3. Payment of charges. The Bureau pays the monthly (non-consumable) subscription of P 800.00. The assignee pays any excess over the allowed free 300 text messages and 100 minutes free calls. No certification as to the nature of calls is required.
