California Court Tells Employers to Pay Part of Employees’ Cell Phone Bills (natlawreview.com)

The main thing is this ""We hold that when employees must use their personal cell phones for work-related calls, Labor Code section 2802 requires the employer to reimburse them. Whether the employees have cell phone plans with unlimited minutes or limited minutes, the reimbursement owed is a reasonable percentage of their cell phone bills." Even if the employee has purchased a personal cell phone plan that provides the employee with "unlimited" minutes and the employee does not incur any additional expense for his/her work-related calls, the employer must still provide a reasonable reimbursement to the employee."

Doesn't say about Data, which could be the bigger issue, but one would think that would be similar.
