Today, I got let go from my job, because my personal cell phone doesn't always have signal, so I missed an important call from work. My contract specifically said I'd get a work phone, which never happened. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I missed a phone interview for a job at Telstra because Telstra's phone network was down. FML
Today, I was let go from my job for not being able to come into work early. FML
Today, I lost my $100 in cash that I had to use to pay my phone bill. As a result, my phone got cut off and I missed an important call for an apartment that I was looking at. When I went to work, I heard my boss saying how lucky she was to find $100 in cash. FML
Today, I finally got a job interview, and I thought it went amazing. They were supposed to call me today or tomorrow with the news. Today is also the day that my phone company decided to cut my phone off. FML
Today, I switched cell phone service providers, hoping to upgrade. After working out the details and picking a phone in the store, I got home to find my brand new cell can't get a signal in my house. I already signed the two year contract. FML
Today, I got fired from my part-time job, because I insisted on keeping my phone in my pocket and never using it, instead of putting it in locker without a lock or security camera, that anyone can go through. The manager found out by searching my locker for the past 3 weeks. Ironic. FML
Today, my boss was angry at me because I had filed a complaint about him refusing to change our phone service to something more reliable. Later, a customer called him and said I had hung up on him. I got fired. I didn't hang up on the customer, the phone service just dropped the call. FML
Today, my phone cut out during a call for a job interview. I tried calling them back, but there was no answer. Later, I got an email from the interviewer, saying I was no longer being considered for the position due to my being "rude and unprofessional." FML
Today, I was fired from a job I didn't have. The manager in charge of calling me to tell me if I got the job never called, and never called me back when I left messages. The only time he called me was to fire me for not coming to orientation, which, by the way, he never called to tell me about. FML
Today, my hours got cut because I couldn't make it into work when they called me in. Why couldn't I make it in? I was in an interview for a better job. I didn't get the job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Go to HR or file a complaint

Well that's something you should take to court. If it's in the contract then they will have to give you your job back and the phone.

Talk to a lawyer. If that part about your contact is true, you might be able to claim wrongful termination.

If it was in the contract then they violated their contract and its false termination due to them not keeping up their part of the bargain.

The thing about company phones is that people are often given a choice, get and use a company phone or use your personal phone and get a small "bonus" that is probably the price of the phone bill each month. If OP chose to get the money, they wouldn't give him or her a phone, and they hold up their end of the bargain.

breach of contract. threaten to get a lawyer if you want to keep your job, or actually get a lawyer and squeeze some money out of them.

filing a complaint is the right thing to do

Unless someone was dead or dying it wasn't really all that important.

Breach of Contract! Talk to HR; go to labour board. If you genuinely liked your job you should fight for it, and at least keep it until you can find other work!

Sue sue sue. The law is on your side in this case, do not let these criminals get away with setting you up. Cuz that's what happened. This was deliberate.
