Phones, as in 3gpp? If so, each phone alway gets a /64, there is
no choice.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6459  

Here the cell companies are marketing their 4G LTE as an alternative
to DSL, Coax and fiber for internet access in your home with a 4G
wifi router. If they can not do prefix delegation it is no
alternative!

Actually, that /64 prefix is delegated, after a fashion. RFC 7278.

That said, according to RFC 6459 section 5.3, full DHCPv6-PD support
was specified in 3GPP Rel-10. Not sure if there are production
deployments of that yet though, and if not how far off they are. But at
least it looks like it's coming.
