> Can Communicator be used as my primary phone?
Without them making a statement of how long they will provide security updates for, this could easily go like past phones of mine.
My work tightens their mobile security policy, and the device can no longer meet it. This is for both Android version and security updates. Happened to me a few times where I had to stop using a perfectly good phone which wasn't that old.
(Now I bought a Pixel I only use on wifi - 7 years of updates, and actually better for my WLB, since I leave work at home by default, or stuff a second phone in my pocket if I want to take it with)

I've never had a pixel phone last more than 3 years before it stopped turning on, all the way back to Nexus devices.
I'd stop buying them but everything else is bad in some other way. It is hilarious that the official Google phones have the fewest ads and forced app installs.
Why don't you have a work phone? How can you let an employer rule over what you do with your personal device?
