Today for a lot of people having a phone in necessary, this is because so many companies are relying on being able to easily reach their employees. Like my job for example, my schedule varies but they call me ahead of time to let me know if I'm coming in. If I didn't have a cell phone I'd be stuck waiting for them by the home phone and I wouldn't be able to run important errands. If cell phones didn't exist my company wouldn't have built that dependency on them, but they have so it's important for me to have one.
