Hey Snoop,
There's nothing wrong with using your cell except you may run out of batteries. Workaround by keeping it plugged into AC. A headset (wireless or wired) to your cell phone will make you much more comfortable. This is how I used to teach the class (with my cell phone and a wired headset).
If you don't want to use a phone at all, use your computer. Obtain an application like Skype. If you install Skype on your pc, you can dial our toll free number and you're good to go. It's a free call to you and to Skype. A headset combo with a mic is highly desireable in this situation, but they can be two pieces as well...makes no difference to the VoIP software. Prices now are relatively inexpensive at less than $30 and voice quality -- even on the most inexpensive ones -- will be better than on a phone.
