My company pays for my service but not my phone, so I'm in a gray area here.

Heads up, if your company is paying for your service, they can see who you're calling and texting.

I'm not saying that's unreasonable, but I've heard of employees getting caught leaking by communicating through cell plans paid for by the employer.

What if you're being reimbursed for your phone? I assume they can only see activity on my logged in GSuite account. Can't imagine that they have access to anything beyond that.
If they are the ones paying for your phone's subscription, they get a very detailed report on all the calls/texts/data access requests done.
All they do is hand me a certain amount of money every month. The plan is my own, and they didn't install any software on my phone. All I do is run Gmail through the built-in mail and calendar apps on my iPhone. I also have Slack on my iPhone.
My company pays a $75/month BYOD stipend. It's more than enough to cover the phone bill.
