Is it common to have a list of every employee's mobile phone? I would guess a lot of firms just have informal lists of phone numbers held by managers and colleagues.

Plus if there was a list, wouldn't it be on a computer that's currently off?

Most managers would have their reports' mobile numbers. Just start with the C-suite and work down. This is a case of hierarchy actually being an advantage...
In large corporations yes (For emergency procedures etc). Definitely, if most staff have a work phone (for email).
I think this means contacting them via email on their mobile phones.
