"Clark's phone is actually in Metropolis, and the call is relayed to him
via Kryptonian technology or (If it's a setting where the Justice League
is well established) perhaps a Wayne Industries satelite."
Yea Matrix Dragon's idea quoted above is how we decided to handle it in the "Superman Unbound" and "Superman Unleashed" fanfic universes, but I was referring to several superman Fanfics where Superman was carrying around his unmodified consumer grade civilian cell phone. They all made me go "huh" and stop reading breaking the story, at least for a little while.
I've also came across a short and funny Lois and Clark Fanfic that highlighted the problem by using it to build a fanfic around Clark's local telephone company working desperately, without his knowledge to keep his cell phone from revealing to others he is Superman.
