Simple. No service. Phones broken. Battery is dead. Someone lost their phone.

I work in a town with a population of roughly 4,300 people. Cellphone service is complete shit there. Unless I'm connected to my jobs Wifi, I'm lucky if I get 1 or 2 bars of service.

You make it sound like they need to come up with some convoluted reason for why they can't use a cellphone

Like trying to ignore the fact, say, everyone in the movie isn't wearing pants.

You can ignore it sure, not address it, but someone is going to review or comment on how unbelievable it was that Jason Bourne was running around in his tighty whiteys.

Laundry day right? Everyone on the same day.
