Unless you're building the cell phones, it's in effect an external system
you're interfacing with, and as such it would be an Actor.  We might argue
whether the Cell Phone is the Business Actor, or its Owner; however 
certainly by the time you've decided on the technology for delivering
the information, it is legitimate to have the Cell Phone as an Actor.

Normally we wouldn't do this because we'd want separation of
concerns between the diagrams, but really it depends on whether
doing so gives you any value.
