It’s a different take on the spoon theory. Basically, in D&D and games like it, you have a certain amount of spell slots per day you can use to cast spells; I believe wizards have two at first level. Cantrips are the exception, simple spells you can cast as many times as you like per day.

But making a phone call is fucking hard. No way is that a free use spell.

I don’t think that’s what is meant. More surfing with a phone or using apps

In these modern times the phrase "use phone" to me does not imply making a phone call.

We switched to Pathfinder rules. The phone is a type of wand, and phone call is it's magic. Using it more than once a day deals massive spirit damage

I would rather make a billion phonecalls than clean my apartment ever

Spell slots are limited to a set number per day, but cantrips can be used as often as you want.

One at a time! We don't want «charm» to fail to roll favourably.

Initially i thought "using phone" meant "making a call" and thinking how tf is that a cantrip!?!? That's a level 4 spell for me.

experienced casters know that "move one dirty dish to the kitchen while on your way to the toilet" is a cantrip, as is "put dish in sink and quickly rinse it" and "scrub soaked dish with one of those sponge-brushes that have washing-up liquid in the handle", which means you can trade casting time for spell slot efficiency.
