A few points. The newer cell phones have far less power and have a tougher time reaching the ground (range issues),

About 20 years ago I have friend who worked installing the in-flight phones. Had a conversation with one of the company bosses. He essentially stated that they were going to lobby to get cell phones banned from commercial flights as it would cut into their profits.

I honestly can’t see how they are a safety issue. I have seen lots of -130 flights with multiple devices going and no safety related problems.
