regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your
phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set
off explosives.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or
accessories.
Turn off your phone when you're in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your
phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could
cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include:
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
●
Below deck on boats.
●
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
●
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
●
grain, dust or metal powders.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn
●
off your vehicle's engine.
Restricting Children's Access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play
with it because they could hurt themselves and others, damage
the phone or make calls that increase your phone bill.
