I don't find this plausible. Is there any evidence to suggest that, during an emergency condition requiring cooperation, people continue to text and make calls? To quote Mitch Hedberg, "If you're flammable and have legs, you're never blocking a fire exit."

During emergency evacuations of aircraft, the number one problem is people attempting to bring their carry-on luggage with them. True story.
