If cell phones existed could it have made a difference?

In all of this we also have to remember that if he was injured part of the reason why he didn't suck it up and try to crawl his way out of the place might have been due to being frozen by fear of leaving the shelter.

If cellphone existed, then I'm sure he would taking selfies and then upload them to flickr, instagram, panoramio, facebook. Well, at least that what I would do.

Never mind a cell phone; he probably would have survived if he had bothered to take an old-fashioned paper map.
He
did
have a detailed paper map of the area (including Denali park and its service road, which was near the bus). This fact was not mentioned in either book or movie, but it
was
included in the coroner's report.
McCandless also had plenty of money and ID. The movie leaves out the fact that he had posted on the bus a note saying he was injured and needed help. That probably was a significant factor.
They did have cell phones back then, but Chris's location was probably out of range, and he had no way to charge one.
