All most all the college students have got a Mobile phone ... if their mom and dad din't buy one they buy it with their own money or with their savings money...
I have two cells one for my personal friends and one for general... I use the general one infront of my parents and the personal is used locking the room 🤣
My mother is okay with me using cell phone, maybe because I don't use that often in front of her and should be because I am paying for my own bills lol
