Can I use my old phone bills as deductions while looking for work?

Throughout the year 2008, I worked on and off and was using my cell phone almost entirely for job-related reasons. I know you can write off expenses that occur while looking for work...could I write off a few months' worth of phone bills?

Also, I know this is a long shot, but I live in Chicago and used public transportation to get to interviews. I doubt I could write this off, esp. since I don't have receipts for the travel passes I bought, but wanted to ask anyway.
