Cell Phone
Has anyone tried to use a cell phone in an airplane during a flight?
I flew several times since the 9 / 11. Twice to return to New York and Oregon and several flights to Arizona to Oregon and back. In each flight, which was to become my cell phone to see if I could get a connection. I always I have no services appear on my sceen. A year ago, I read about Internet for people to use mobile phones on planes to fly airplanes must be installed a special antenna. This has not yet began to occur. So my question would be. If you can not get service on your cell phone on board an aircraft. How to 11.9 people aboard doomed Aircraft use as your cell phone to call your loved ones? I do not count people who use the provision high-cost aircraft phones than those who have used their mobile phones. Only one of the holes in the vast history 11.9.
People in the 9 / 11 flights used other support airphones in this forum have said. Typically, mobile phones do not work not very well above about 7000 feet. Some airlines have been exploring the installation of a device, similar in concept to a router computer, allowing passengers to use personal mobile phones while cruising altitude. It will be expensive to install and day, so you can bet that airlines impose for that. My2cents is correct, a great reason to ban the FCC on cell phones is the accounting problem.
