I'm a pilot, and called the FAA about this-
They said it's a no-no because it screws up the cell phone companies.
So I called my cell phone company-
They said it's a no-no because it screws up the FAA's stuff.
Bottom line, to get approval to use anything in/around airplanes is difficult. Even though cell phones do not interfere with any of my avionics, it has not been proven to the satisfaction of the FAA that it couldn't, under any circumstance, cause interferance, thus it stays illegal.
Not worth all the hoops to jump through. Lots easier just to say "don't do it."
