DOD Command cell-phone charging practice

The DOD Command I work for has recently enacted a cell phone charging practice for personal calls on Government issued cell phones. The cost is $1.30 per minute, and the costs when summed up for some employees exceeds the actual cell-phone bill from the provider. Is it legal for the Government to collect more than the actual cost?
