Edit II:
idlechill states this below:



So, it's both against FAA policy & UA policy. FA did nothing wrong - no need to chastise. All answers found pretty easily through Google.
Actually, your interpretation is WRONG as far as FAA policy. It was in airplane mode using WIFI, it was not using the cellular network. Today's cellular telephone is actually a tracking device and portable computer with the ability to make telephone calls. This is no different from me using Wifi on my laptop to connect into my office VPN and make a VOIP call using my office phone system.
