This is one case where I don't think the cell phone would drastically change the movie. He'd still be home alone dealing with the thieves as his mom worked her way back. He just wouldn't be in the dark as to why he is alone.

I read this as keven messaged before the flight took off unlike the movie where mum was already in the air when she twigged

Also her phone should have been on flight mode if already in the air

They're rich. She'd get texts in flight.

Data-based messaging apps are generally now. Like iMessage and WhatsApp.
