Season 3 Cell Phone vs. Pay Phone

At the beginning of the episode, Syd is bookin' it to a pay phone so she can call and tell the CIA that the tracking device is on Vaughn, and that he's been stabbed. Why doesn't she escape Simon and use her cell phone? It seems whenever she has to call the CIA, she uses a pay phone, but they always call her on her cell phone and ask her to come in for a debrief, relay urgent info, etc. Even Simon calls her cell phone. Why does it seem like Sydney is perfectly capable of receiving calls on her cell phone, but she can't use it to dial out?
 
Weird... I never thought about that. Maybe her calls could be traced or records of them dug up. But then the cell would be useless for calling her on too. :confused:
 
that is strange! and it couldn't be because she can only receive calls because remember in the pilot when she called Francie to have her call her back to trick the guy that was trying to kill her in the garage? strangeness!
