Work phones... what's the deal? (srs)

If I get a work phone, does that mean I have to carry that chit around with me everywhere? Never heard anything about being oncall in interviews/job description.
In fact, I think I asked and they said no. It's software engineering.

Don't want to install their bloatware on my phone but also don't want to lug 2 phones around on a night out or when I go to the gym or something.

Maybe I should start pursemaxxing? What are yall's thoughts?

If you're not getting paid to be on call I wouldn't be touching it outside of work hours.

Just turn it off when you leave. Leave it at work even.

At my work if we turn down a work phone they pay us $20 a month. I mean it is 2021 everyone has unlimited calling text and data, why would you take up the burden of a 2nd phone?

Damn, is that really all there is to it? Was talking to my dad about it, and he was more on the side of, I should be ready to answer some emails, but then again, he manages a decent amount for his work.

The thought did also strike me, if they're asking me to do oncall-esque chit, I'm probably bailing asap, so I guess it doesnt matter too much.

Appreciate the responses brahs.

Don't think they give any compensation sadly. My concern is I have to have VPN and a bunch of chit running if I want to use my personal phone. Don't want to be draining the battery that often, storing that much crap, or putting that much wear and tear on a personal item.
