Probably not as they usually need to be within a couple of miles of a cell tower to get service. In low earth orbit the closest normal cell towers would be about 200 miles below you, well out of service range. Further out it would of course be worse.

However if your spacecraft contained a cell transmitter/receiver like those in cell towers, yes the mobile phone would work while inside the spacecraft (and maybe just outside near the spacecraft).

Why not mobile phone contains a mini projector?

Mobile phones are incapable of carrying a projector bulb powerful enough to project focused light more than a foot or so, although it is possible to build a laser pointer into a mobile phone. However, even mini projectors require more volume than modern mobile phones contain, so unless you have some old arm-sized mobile phone it will not have enough space to contain a miniprojector.
