Interesting. I overheard 2 rabbis from a local Yeshiva high school who were
registering a phone in the dorm as a home phone even though it was an
institutional phone and I questioned the eh tics of this.

I asked my own LOR is this a case o G'neivas Da'as, iow representing the
phone for personal use instead of institutional use.

He said NO it is not G'nievas Da'as it is MAMASH G'neiva.  It's like an a
adult buying a child's discounted ticket by lying about one's age.
