If you want to know the legal aspects perhaps it would be better if you consult a lawyer (and mention your location as well).
Now, in practical terms seems to me that they can't or shouldn't.
You say you use your personal phone (which you bought I take it), and that the company pays part of the bills. Seems to me that they are doing the right thing by recognizing that part of your job entails making phone calls and paying you for that as compensation... but the phone is yours. At most they should stop paying part of your bills when you are terminated.
Different case would be if they gave you the phone, and they payed for it. In that case the phone would be company property and should be given back when terminated or leaving.
