This is Dean's other, other cell so, you must know what to do. – Dean's voicemail, 5.12 Swap Meat

In Phantom Traveler, Dean's cell phone number is given: 1-866-907-3235. It is currently not active. If you phoned the number early in the season, the following messages (spoken by Jensen Ackles) would play:

Message 1:



"This is Dean Winchester. If this is an emergency, leave a message. If you're calling about 11-2-83, please page me with your coordinates."

Message 2:



"Dad, we really need to hear from you. Leave me a message, text me, check your jwinchester1246 gmail. Anything. We have new info."

Side note: In real life, Jared has twice tweeted the number (778) 237-3022. He eventually stated that it is the number to a prop phone that was used by Jensen on set.

In 2.13 Houses of the Holy Dean's phone is the 2006 Verizon Chocolate.

Dean has owned a Motorola i850, an LG slide phone, and an unidentified flip phone. As of 6.14 Mannequin 3: The Reckoning, Dean owned a Nokia N78. The display image seems to be of his legs up on a table. In 7.17 The Born-Again Identity Dean's phone number is 785-555-0128.

In 9.02 Devil May Care Kevin answers what is supposedly Dean's previous phone, which he retrieves from a box of spare phones. It looks to be a Blackberry slider, like the BlackBerry Torch 9800.

As of Season 11 Dean has upgraded to an Apple iPhone.

He tells Dean he can't help him with what he has. He demands Dean tell Sam that Rowena escaped with the Book of the Damned and the Codex. Dean asks him where he is again instead. Ignoring him, Castiel ask Dean if the Mark of Cain is gone. Dean tries to start an argument, but Castiel interrupts and asks again. Dean states yes, but he's not great, then puts Castiel on speakerphone. Dean says, "Okay, your turn. Talk to us about The Darkness." When Castiel asks why, Sam tells him it's free and Dean saw her.

Dean is checking out a crime scene and we can see his phone on the Impala's dashboard. It's Castiel calling. When Dean answers and asks how he is, he says he's mostly confused. He "Doesn't understand how orange correlates with black in a way that is new." Dean tells him to step away from the Netflix and then asks if he got any information on what they might be hunting. Castiel tells him he found a creature that feeds on hearts and blood. Dean jokes that it's a werepyre and Castiel just ignores him. He explains that in lore it's referred to as a Whisper and silver will kill it, but he should decapitate it just to be sure. Dean tells Castiel he's at the crime scene and says it was staged. As he asks Castiel for more information about Whispers, Deputy Donelly pulls up, so he tells Castiel to hang on and throws the phone onto the dash of the car. Castiel appears to not hear him and continues to go over the lore about Whispers. He realizes this is not what Dean is hunting, because it's not a solar eclipse. Then, he hears a thump and calls out to Dean. When he hears gunshots, he starts to panic. Dean finally gets back in the car and jokes he did kill the deputy. When he assures Castiel he killed him with silver bullets, Castiel explains it's not a Whisper. Dean tells him to hang on again and this time Castiel hears, but calls out to him anyway. When Dean returns, Castiel reiterates that it's not a Whisper. Dean says he's starting to get that, since the deputy won't die. He puts Castiel on hold again, then sends him pictures of its fangs and asks him to look into it. Castiel replies, "I'm on it!" and they hang up.

After hanging up with Castiel, Dean sees the missed call and text from Sam and calls him back. Sam tells him he got jumped, but when Dean asks if he's okay, he says he thinks so, for now, and that they're dealing with a pack. Dean explains the deputy was one too and he's in two pieces, still alive. The he asks where Sam is now. Sam says after Lily Markham was knocked out, he carried her to a house near by. He tells Dean he will text him the address, so Dean says to sit tight and he's on his way. They hang up.

After he picks up Sam and Lily, Dean gets a call from Castiel while driving. Dean puts him on speakerphone. Castiel says they're hunting a Nachzehrer, a ghoul- and vampire-like creature. Dean immediately dubs it a ghoulpyre, to no one's amusement. Castiel explains a bit about them and, when Dean asks, how to kill them. He says since they are already dead, they need to be reminded that they are dead and they need a Charon's obol. Sam equates it to Ancient Greek stories of the river Styx for Dean. Castiel agrees: place a coin in a Nachzeher's mouth, then sever the head, and it will kill them. He continues to say if you kill the alpha, everyone they've turned will turn back to normal. The Men of Letters documents state it must be a copper coin, and Sam interjects again, stating it must be a pre-1982 penny in order to be copper and not copper-plated. Dean heckles Sam for being a nerd, then thanks Castiel. They tell him to get better and hang up.

When Dean comes to, the Nachzeher holds up Dean's phone and explains he used it to text Sam, sending him into a trap so the pack can turn him.

Then Dean asks how the search for Metatron is going. Castiel says there has been nothing on Angel Radio. Dean becomes worried about Castiel's television-watching habit, asking when he last left the Bunker. Castiel responds by saying, "Why would I leave? I've got everything I need right here." Dean heckles him for watching Jenny Jones. Dean warns him against watching too much TV and hangs up.

Dean asks if Sam is sure about the plan. Sam says, "No. Not even a little. But what choice do we have, you know?"

Castiel tells him he will text the address and they hang up.





After Mary has a vision and the boys tell her to stay at the motel while they go out to salt and burn, Dean gives her his cell phone. She puts it down and uses the room phone to make a call, most likely because she is still uncomfortable using a smart phone.
