I disagree with that premise. Just because I have my phone with me all the time does not mean it's not useful to have a separate phone context. Part of the reason is the time, energy and mental bandwidth required to change contexts. It's more efficient if I bundle a bunch of phone calls at once since I'll be in "phone mode"
I live and work in the same place but that means I actually use more contexts than most folks who travel to a worksite. I use contexts to prevent me getting distracted and to save on the get ready and clean-up that happens whenever I switch contexts.
I actually use 2 phone contexts, phone business hours and phone. For me the action would be call doctor's office to make apt. for annual checkup and it would be in the phone business hours context as I can't do it any other time.
