That one really sounds like a Myth.........
That was told to me by a senior line pilot at a large UK HEMS company 2 weeks ago, and as I say, based on that incident the Chief Pilot and Chief Engineer changed company policy to all phones OFF onboard!
BTW, its still illegal to have them switched on onboard an aircraft in the UK anyway.
