So that you can brag about it, of course. Q: How do you know when someone doesn't have a cell phone? A: They'll tell you.

  You probably won't find out unless there's a crisis and then if you press them you'll hear "it broke and I haven't replaced it yet" and then if you press more you'll find out it broke six months ago or 5 years ago or whatever. I've been on both sides of the table of "I'm not giving my employer my cell phone number because I don't want to get called outside working hours, this isn't that kind of job" and if pressed, at least sometimes they don't have a phone, or say they don't. If you want me to carry an iphone like an electronic leash you'll pay for it, or if not, you won't. Its also pretty common if your former employer paid for your electronic-leash and you get a new job... no phone, you turned it in to the former employer when you left. And I'm busy learning the new job not waiting in line at a phone store, maybe I had to move, etc. And I'm not getting a paycheck for a month and I'd rather pay the rent at the new place and eat than have a phone. And next month, well, nothing bad happened although I do have an extra $100 in my pocket to spend, so maybe I'll buy one next month, and being a new place I'd rather have a kitchen table than a phone, so... And next thing you know, you've been working there 3 years and still don't have a phone.
