Honestly, its one of those weird things were it makes sense to have them just given out but at the same time they have a definitive point cost in the RAW.
That said, I Think GK is going with the common sense meathod: team mebers do, and everyone has a cell phone.
If needed Felix's wealth can cover over the counter things, like cell phones and Bluetooth head sets. (what was once comically high tech is now common place)
But if GK wants points used on them, then I'll go ahead and use the coming advancement point to do so.
That said, from how I DM, a power/paid for item that lets you talk to other people is more reliable and secure then the freebie stuff ;3
