A lot of cars won't let the compressor kick on unless it has enough refridgerant. Try recharging the compressor all the way and if it still don't work, you might need a new compressor.

No, it is not dangerous to use a cell phone while it is recharging.
The compressor locked up because it was low on oil in the first place and when you recharged it with freon it had no lubricant.
The AC should have been running while it was being charged.
Low pressure line larger line from the compressor
the squeeling noise is from the fan belt either the belt needs renewing, or the a/c compressor clutch is not operating correctly
Recharging the air conditioning is simple with a recharge kit. Connects the Freon bottle to the recharge port on the air conditioner compressor. Release the Freon into the compressor.
See if the compressor is cycling on and off. If not, the fuse is blown. if it is and you still have only hot air, then it probably has a leak and needs repair and recharging.

If the A/C system is empty the compressor will not turn until you get enough refrigerant in it. Just turn on the A/C and hook up your can of freon. Once the freon starts filling the system the A/C clutch will engage.
Your 2001 VW Jetta low pressure port can be found on the left side of the air conditioning compressor. The low pressure port is for recharging the air conditioning.
