Presumably, your family would like to have some contact with you during this time, so bringing a phone would not be unreasonable.

On the other hand, part of the point of this kind of program is to live simply, with very few commitments beyond eating, sleeping, and training. If you have enough time and energy to spend a lot of time surfing the internet, the program probably isn't doing its job.

There's also the matter of security for expensive electronic gadgets.
