Had To Buy Mobile Phones to Test my Employeer(Big Company) Apps

So, after 4 attempts of convincing my boss I need a mobile pair(iPhone and Android) to test our company App(Mobile Banking App) I was refused because to ask for it I was required to show results. A little ambiguous because I guess I needed the tools in order to do the work and show the actual results.

The funny thing is my boss is demaning me to have this ready before August.

I purchased the mobiles by myself in order to do the Job and put that thing and others(so many) things I'm assigned to and will leave. The good is I can use those mobiles for testing my pet projects after I leave this hell.
