Hopefully these will help you. Flying is by far the safest way to get around, so you should try to calm yourself and enjoy the experience!
Q400:
For cell phones, according to United's electronic device policy:
Travelers may use small, lightweight portable electronic devices (as specified below) in "airplane mode" on United-operated flights. Cellular service must always be turned off prior to departure. Flight attendants will announce when devices may be used in flight, with general guidelines as follows:
Within the U.S. (includes U.S. territories), travelers may use permitted devices at all times. Between the U.S. and an international location, travelers may use permitted devices except when departing from or arriving into the international location, unless flight attendants have announced that permitted devices can be used throughout the flight. Outside of the U.S., permitted devices may only be used above 10,000 feet, unless flight attendants have announced that permitted devices can be used throughout the flight. Certain electronic devices could cause minor interference with aircraft navigational instruments. Therefore, the crew may ask travelers to completely turn off all devices in certain situations. All devices must be turned off and stowed during emergency preparations.
Travelers may turn on and use cellular service only when the main cabin door is open or when instructed by a flight attendant. Pagers may be used to receive messages at any time.
