Pogonophilia, anyone?

Nocellphobia?

Or like someone suggested, akineto(phono)phobia.

Just "no mobile phobia" or "no cell phobia" without bothering to borrow a Greek root is not too long, I think.
My name is meant to be pronounced [çɔˈlɔːbrɪkʌ], but you can pronounce it any way you like.
The initial palatal fricative can be replaced by [hj] and the final vowel by [a] (I think that's the right IPA symbol).
