If the phone was never found I wonder if someone saw the crash, picked up the phone and tried to use it to call those listed on it

The answer to that lies somewhere.... in the twilight zone.
There's a possibility that they can track the towers the phone was calling through (if they care enough to bother); if it's stationary and near the crash, I'd just chalk it up to freak combination of events causing the right damage to make it dial through the phone book or redial recent calls.
If it's mobile -- someone found it.
As to the phone not being found... No big surprise with the wreckage. They may find it in the coming months; they may even have already found it, and just not identified it.

I believe I saw this on an episode of "Twilight Zone" once. 
After my initial thoughts about electrical malfunctions, that was my second guess.
Now, despite being non-religious, I am more than open to somewhat mystical interpretations of events that are beyond current explanation. I have after all experienced quite a few such things in my life. But in this case I think the pragmatic argument that someone just nicked the phone is the simplest and most likely cause.
Of course, subsequent revelations may take us on an entirely different path.
In a way I kind of hope they find the remains of it and say it could never have been used to send those calls
Bingo!
Or one of the other victims was alive just long enough to try to use the phone to dial several times before he/she died.
Sorry... didn't realize we were after mystery.
How's this:
Clearly, his spirit was desperate to ease the family, and could only manipulate the weak electrical fields of the cell phone, causing it to dial the numbers. Had anyone receiveing the calls simply had the foresight to have their phones connected to an appropriate, high end tape recorder, they'd have heard white noise, which when properly processed and filtered would reveal itself to be his dying declaration of love for his family, mending the decades old rift between him and a sibling, encouraging his wife to move on and be happy, and giving the kids that last bit of wisdom to put their lives in order.
Better?

Ya'll are too funny. 
I'm sure there's a *logical* explanation somewhere, but I thought it was spooky. I mean really, it made like 35 calls, and why would it go directly to voicemail on the call backs instead of ringing first like it does when the phone is turned on with no answer?
Yep, clearly his spirit was desperate to ease his family. Twilight Zone. That's what I'm going with.

Much. :asian:Better?
Far too often science intrudes upon the mysteries of the universe and tries to explain away the unexplainable. Einstein said... "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
