"thanks,Mark In a general sense, many electronic gadgets which we have been addicted to have become "the" THINGs in our lives. In conversations, we automatically put the definite article "THE" in front of it. For example: Even though she is only 10 years old, she spends way too much time on the phone , sometimes beyond bed time.

If you are using a device, the most common preposition is "on."
The second most common is "at." It means you are at its location.
"With" is not used.
