Communication is Key.... right?
OK.. So my BF and I are just recently official, so it's a "baby" relationship, still in the growing stages. Before we made it official we had a long series of talks about what we wanted, expected etc in a relationship, because of some of his extra curricular activities that I don't agree with and me having kids etc. SO.. we got enough figured out where we both agreed it will work out. And his main line to me this entire time was "communication is key" and that if we lose communication, everything else will break b/c of it. Now it seems like communication is limited. He's w/o his cell phone right now, and so I have to wait for him to get a hold of me, etc. And I don't understand why, if his main view is "communication is key" and after he spent so much effort chasing me.. it's really died down. And I'm not the kind of girl to be freaking out thinking he's cheating and what not.. but I'd just like some input as to why he might be doing it, and if there's anything I can do...

Communication is most certainly key! But keep in mind, there are many, many ways of communication. A lost cell phone shouldn't hinder anything.
Skype: A free online video/voice chat software that is completely free and easy to use. Arrange a designated time each night where you two can just talk.
E-mails and IMing: My fiance and I developed our relationship through IM in the early years. It's just as immediate as a cell phone conversation.
Letters: Seriously, who wouldn't feel special receiving a handwritten note, postmarked and everything?
well, what I did was I bought my boyfriend a cell phone... mind you I have limited funds, credit, and resources... so even a track phone works... I wanted him to be able to stay connected to everyone... me, his mom, his boys, and even those pesky girls that I wonder constantly if he's involved with... but I trust him. If you communicate and trust him, everything else will fall into place... if you have to, get him a cheap pre-paid phone... virgin mobile offers monthly pre-paid plans... including one that is $20 a month for unlimited texting... and 10 cents a minute--most others are 20+ cents a minute. So look into it... it also depends on what coverage you have and whatnot. But let him know you're doing it so you can remain connected even when he's not with you--but that doesn't mean you want to physically be with him for less time. Good Luck!
