You still see this in many newer movies. If they are set in the present step one is "oh no, we have no cell service". There are so many movies and TV shows where the plot doesn't work if you have cell service or internet access.
The lack of effort on the part of writers really ruins my enjoyment. Yes I thought I saw a suspicious person down a dark alley so I will silently separate from my group to go investigate on my own oh no who could possibly have foreseen this murder happening?
