I would guess that RMS would probably try to use a public telephone box
if possible, and maybe borrow someone else's cellphone as a last resort.
Remember: the decline of public telephones is a direct result of the use
of mobile phones. If Stallman could convince people on a larger scale to
stop using cellphones, maybe over time public telephones would become
more widespread again and there would be no need to do this.

I think RMS is just being pragmatic by using other people's mobile
phones when he needs to.
