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. Andrew.
