This is misleading. The Engineer was known to be surrounded by cellphones all the time. Many of his closer supporters would take calls for him on their phones and hand the phone over for him to talk on. This is why the ploy worked. No real way to notice that his "regular" phone was exchanged for a new shiny one with a bulging battery pack or somesuch.
