Probably thousands of people leave their phone on by mistake (or on
purpose) on flights daily, I've done it myself (by accident) at least
twice. It surely isn't much of a safety issue otherwise they would
rigorously check every single phone on board.
I imagine also below a certain height you can easily get a signal from
the ground based base stations, occasionally on a flight you hear
someone's phone beep as the plane is coming in to land.
