Differences between reach/ contact?

Hi,

I saw a website describing what can a person ask during interviews and I saw the following sentences:

Interview Question You Can Ask: If you have no phone, how can we reach you?
Interview Question You Cannot Ask: If you have no phone, how can we contact you?

My question is, what is the difference? Thank you in advance!

I am not a native speaker, but I would say with saying "reach" you show that you have the upper hand.

I don't see any real difference here. Do they say why they think #2 should not be said?
