I'm not sure how illegal it is, but you can't use a cell phone while
airborne because it grabs onto an unlimited number of cells and gloms up
the works. I have used mine sitting on the ramp, but it should actually
be turned off in the air (because it still accesses receivers while in
standby mode). 

When satellite phones get cheaper, I'm sure you'll start finding them in
small aircraft.
