I doubt they were calling from cellphones, they were probably using those back of the seat phone things. In the news reports they claim that some people called their relatives several times.
99% of people have PCS or GSM digital phones with tiny ass .25 watt transmitters, which are pretty much useless in half of rural Penn, let alone at altitude.
