Why doesn't Amy have a mobile phone?

All his other past companions have had mobile phones, and he normally upgrades them with his screwdriver so that they will work anywhere, eveywhere, anywhen...??
I've not seen her with one yet anyway....

The previous companions have had families to keep in touch with, generally to provide an emotional backbone to the story, or otherwise need to be able to contact someone else in the group.
The only person Amy might want to contact would be Rory, and since she's run off with another man in the middle of the night, she's not likely to want to do that.
(The in-story reason is that she left in just her nightie...)
Who does she need to call? Not everyone has a mobile.
I like it because it means she is involved with adventures without the need for sentimental scenes of calling home.
I think it was a good take on things for modern DW. It made sense because we live in a world of mobile phones. However, its been done and the novelty has worn off for me.
Thanks. That does seem rather odd. I don't remember her being mentioned by the grown up Amy when The Doctor returned to the house later on either. She didn't appear to be living there on the night that Amy left as well. Very odd.
