They communicated with that phone. That they can do anywhere. They communicated through Neo's computer, suggestion, and many other ways.
They could not extract someone plugged in from a cell phone. Had to be a landline.
Did they actually establish that as a rule?
Yes, there are multiple moments where they have to get to a landline to get out. if they could extract via cellphone then there wouldn't be any tension around them needing to extract.
I vaguely remember Tank of Morpheus saying something to Neo when they were teaching him to say for certain. But that's the whole basis of Trinity's opening scene.
