The problem with your claim is that it doesn't pass even basic rational examination of the known physics involved. Radio waves from cell phones are only one source. The transmitter in most cell phones is around 0.3 watts. Loosely speaking, a cell tower transmits at around 10 watts per antenna. Radio stations transmit at wattages measured in the kilowatt range. HAM radio operators can transmit at 100 watts.
All of these signals are flying around the atmosphere all the time. Distance certainly plays a role in effective power at the point of reception, but a tiny 0.3 watt cell phone transmitter isn't bombarding the aircraft with any more RF than an FM transmitter that is miles away from the airport.
The reasoning just doesn't stand up.
