<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

I work as an admin assistant to a real estate agent. I've been at this job for 9 months. I got my own work email 2 months after I started, and I've had it on my phone since. I'm not really sure why I did that in the first place - I guess it was the excitement of having my own email! 

Recently my boss has been asking me more and more to use my personal phone for business - I communicate by text with almost all of our clients, and most times I text back and forth with other agents when setting up showings. I even have to use it to make calls when I'm away from the office.

I feel like I should request a work phone, but I'm apprehensive about asking my boss for that. He only has one phone, and uses it for personal and business, but I don't think it's fair to expect the same of me. 

Does anyone have any experience with this?
