Molly's cellphone ...
morriswalters:
It's fairly simple. Butcher wanted you to know that the Queens can use cellphones.

Maybe they can, maybe they can't; PROBABLY they can, because the fae don't have mortal murphyonics. Mostly they cannot use iron/steel (which rules out much mortal tech), but they don't have to actually touch anything ferrous to use a cellphone, just glass & aluminum.
I doubt they WOULD use a cellphone... except for Lady Molly, if her murphyonics don't prevent. Maybe Sarissa -- maybe -- since she seems to have valued her mortal side and wanted to fit in.
I don't think the "limousine" Lea picked up Harry & Susan with was an actual car. It was some sort of faerie magic, likely a carriage or somesuch; with a car-like glamour for Harry & Susan and a "make way, but don't notice me" veil for everyone else. My point is -- when it looks like tech and it's faerie... it isn't tech.
In this thread, I'm positing that Molly's cellphone isn't tech.
That it was a(nother) red-herring, or false-flag, or whatever; by Jim (and by Molly).

I know the idea that your advancing. But Mab does indeed have cars, Harry is driving one. There is no real plot purpose behind it, or it there is it plumb missed me. On my more cynical days I tell myself that it's Butcher, pulling his blue hair out because no one twigged to the "maybe" fact that Sandra Marling was really Maeve behind a glamour. She was always waving her phone around going "I'm human, see I have a phone".

If I remember correctly there is also a woman in one of the short stories in Side-Jobs, who is a fae and uses a credit card. With a microhip in it if I recall correctly (and as far as I understand it, the US is way behind Europe for that). Don't have the book, so I cannot verify, but I recall Dresden realising that she could use it meant that she was supernatural and not a wizard/sorcerer.

I'm pretty sure Mab simply gave orders that a car be provided to Harry. Up to others to make that happen (and happen in a way that satisfied Mab (should the matter ever again come to her attention)). It's not that Mab, personally, owned any cars.
Molly demonstrated very effectively than any reasonably-powerful supernatural (who wants to) can quickly become very, very rich indeed; Sarissa (for example) most-likely had the resources to provide Harry with a car. I'm sure she's not the only one.
