Default cell phones on a plane

Why is it that cell phones and lap tops effect a plane so much?

I believe it interferes with the plane's communication signals. The pilot does need tocommunicate with the tower, and that's not a wired signal, so I'm guessing that flight companies just want the best possible connection between the pilot and the tower while near the airport.
