Immediately for me, but I think that's because I use 'mobile' myself as opposed to 'cell.'
Because ... well that's the proper term, haha.
I've never had anyone question me though when I use mobile phone, and that includes when providing my number to clients, other associates or anyone at work when informing them which number they've been given. Also, I work with a company that in my department we create websites that act as online resumes (well it's a small part ... you know what I won't bore you with anything that is outside of your question, haha) and one of the sections is Contact Information. We ask for "Mobile Phone" as opposed to "Cellular" or "Cell Phone" when asking how we can get in contact with them.
I think this may help your case as well.
I went to Wikipedia using both and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cel… redirects you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mob….
That should pretty much trump anyone's reasoning, Wikipedia is like the Bible right?
Plus, I think the States are finally realizing that the term 'cell' was an old term that no longer properly applies to mobile phones.
Hope this helps!
