Some Mississippi state employees are fuming over the new state law that forbids them from making any personal calls on government-issued cell phones. 

To comply, employees are either carrying two separate phones - or have opted not to carry a state phone at all.  (Unfortunately, the law also forbids state employees from getting reimbursement for using their personal cell phone for work purposes.)

Cell phone costs for Mississippi were skyrocketing - $2 million for 5,000 state issued cell phones in 2004.
