Hi Robert,
Anglophones?  Is that a cell phone that translated American into
 English? Rather like a spellchecker. What a good idea

Given that the German term for a cellphone is
Handy, what would you call one used in the 
(lost or flushed away in translation......)

And when travelling by train 
about this we make no bones:
we all like "quiet coaches" 
because there are no 'phones.
