From home to first destination (including main location of employment) and from last destination back home is considered commuting expenses which are nondeductible.

However, miles traveled between the two (including toll charges) for business purposes are deductible..

You can deduct your cell phone usage for work, but do keep in mind that in the event of an audit,  the IRS may ask for written records to distinguish between personal and business use for your phone.
