When people can't get through dinner without responding to their phone's pings, or they so restlessly check their Facebook and Twitter feeds that they walk blindly into traffic -- it may be a sign that the white-knuckled grip people have on their cellphones is actually the cellphones' grip on them.

- "I have no charge on my cellphone" or "my cellphone is out of charge"?
The most common expression I've heard for expressing that a cell phone no longer had power is: My cell phone battery is dead.

Through is only really used combined with "reach me" - so "you can reach me through 0800999999". Not as common in the UK, and it implied that someone else will aswer, but can pass on a message. It would not imply that you could necessarily speak to the person - hence the "reach me" rather than "call me". Share.

I remember being taught (though I can't really vouch for the accuracy of the lesson) that 'cell' phones were so named because they'd only function in a particular 'cell,' or 'limited-area-of-coverage-offered-by-a-particular-company-because-American-phone-companies-are-reluctant-to-share-infrastructure-unlike-Australian-ones.'

On is the only acceptable preposition here; "call me at my cell" (or in, to, with, etc.) is wrong.. However, if you are specifying the number, you can use at: You can reach me at (555) 555-5555.
