I also think that if he wanted to make personal calls and was willing to pay for them himself then he shouldn't have used the contract phone/sim card made available to him by the council.
In ANY job you are requested to keep work and personal life separate. I don't think it was appropriate to use the number used for business to make personal calls to family. I work for a specific department at university that requires mobile phones and the staff often carry 2, sometimes 3 mobiles phones with them for different uses and their personal calls are restricted to their only personal mobile phones.
It's sad that your grandmother was ill, but I still don't think it justifies the lack of sense here.

Blazey - Graham did pay for the calls and it was not deducted from the data before it was compiled - does he have to post a copy of all his cheques onto this forum to prove it.
I hope you are never in the position of trying to juggle work and caring for an elderly relative. In those circumstances it is very difficult to keep work and personal life separate, as you never know when you might have to rush home to take them to hospital etc. Belief me it is not very easy - I have had to do it on more than one occasion. In fact when my father was very ill I had to give up a very well paid job because of the time I needed to spend with him and my mother. Not everyone has other family members who can take responsibility for their relatives.
