Thanks Larry & Peter for your words of wisdom. When an IT manager came to me with this issue, my words were much like yours. Where we are now is, how do we capture the cell phone voice mail and the texts that are records of the organization's business? Especially since the cell being used is a personal phone not an issued phone.
Any thoughts?

I agree with Larry,technology is great but implementing it before the
ramifications are understood or known can cause problems down the road.
here are a couple of links to cases that point this out
