I fly in all the time. It is only in the Immigration and Customs halls they don't want a million people on the phone. As soon as the wheels touch the ground, you can use your phone. Use the time from wheels down until the door opens to make the call.
Now, I have on, occasion, used text messages in the Immigration hall, and no one has made an issue of it.
OTOH, going through immigration in Houston is way different than say Newark. Houston is setup far far better. The line system and the number of Immigration officers is far above that of Newark. I couldn't tell you about JFK, since I haven't gone through there in several years.
