There's always been a ban on using Cell phones in flight. On 9/11 the crew was no longer enforcing the rules and the hijackers made two tactical mistakes. The first was that without the crew to enforce the rules, people used their cell phones because they could. The second was that the hijackers assumed that airline passengers were sheep because they had always been sheep. They didn't realize that no one disputed control of a hijacked airplane because the hijackers flew you somewhere then negotiated, and mostly the passengers got out alive. They had suddenly rules changed, so the passenger behavior changed.
