I'm a sophomore in high school and I don't have a phone. I'm applying for a job and I put my moms phone number down on mobile phone because I don't have a phone. Is this ok?

You can get a Tracfone for about $30, then you will have your own number for the foreseeable future. I did this when I was sending out resumes.

Did you write down on the application that you used someone else's number, and did you tell them you might be getting job-related messages? Otherwise, there might be some confusion happening.

Logically speaking a manager would call and ask, "Hello, is Dustin there?" And the other person would go, "Yes, hold on while I get him." They wouldn't inquire about the ownership of said phone line or about who answers first.

If it is your only contact number, then you don't really have a choice.
I'm not overly familiar with the term "sophomore", but I assume you mean you are a 15-year old in high school. It isn't really all that unusual for someone that age to not have their own phone. On the other hand, a lot of teens do.
If you can get your own number (and as has been pointed out, there are free and cheap services available), that would be better, but there is nothing wrong with having your parent's number listed on your application (except the possibility that your mother with pre-filter any callback to you). Just make sure your parent knows that you've used their number, so they're not surprised when they get a call.
Edit: what is it with the word sophomore, anyway? Apparently, you may be in college, too - I would think having your own contact number is expected at that point, otherwise how would your mum contact you?
