Not sure how that makes you screwed. You still just owe the cell phone company the same as you always owed them. Just because you thought your ex paid it for you doesn't mean you don't owe the money if he didn't. You just owe the money for your bill like anyone else.
I assume the charges on the cell phone are properly yours. If so, then you have no rights against the phone company. If your former boyfriend incurred those charges, you also likely have no rights against the phone company.
You may have rights against your former boyfriend, but I would be surprised if those rights were worth pursuing.
