I can somewhat understand why getting a phone call would be a problem. When you rely on other people, and are basically mooching, you don't ask for more than you already get. I know that between my roommate and me, if he cranks up the heat too much, I'm charging his ass for electric. That's my bill, and I don't like it increasing from $60 to $100. If I don't like his attitude, and he increased it only by $15, I'm charging him.
When you're a mooch (sorry Velosity), people already don't like your attitude. Getting calls at night, during kids' naptime, while people are on the phone, while people are on the internet... They may get pissed off and charge him.
I can also understand the requirements that you have phone. If they want to call you, then they want to call you. You'd better have vocal communication to
a. prove by your demeanor and voice tone that you have maturity, physically and emotionally.
b. prove that you can control your own environment, which requires financial independence, a right reserved for adults.
