Sporty's has just an adapter in their catalog.
Another answer is to switch to something like the Lightspeeds
that have a separate jack for on the control unit that feeds
into a cell phone plug.
Have fun getting GSM to work at altitude.

I'd be surprised if the GSM worked at any altitude above pattern
altitude.

Hey gang,
It probably wont work in the air of course that being said mine
started ringing at 11,000 ft yesterday above nashville in the t210. I
was amazed of course we were moving so fast that we lost that tower in
seconds but if you have a helicopter it might work. Cell towers all
point down because thats were the people with the electric leashes are!
Sportys does have that adapter but you can probably get the same from
radio shack for nothin. This all being said I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO
NOT USE YOUR PHONE IN THE AIR!!!!! Not because it is gonna screw with
nav radios or anything but because you will be not concentrating on
what you need to be concentrating on and that is flying the air plane.
Please do not turn into the idiot in his car that is screwing up
traffic because he is on the phone driving. "hang up and drive now
applies to hang up and fly!!!!"

A new headset. Seriously. Get an ANR from Lightspeed, which has that
feature. By far the solution with the best cost-effect relation.
And yes, GSM will not work much above 2000 or 3000 feet.

Ah, come one. At FL110 in the 210, you simply aren't busy all the time.
In fact, with the autopilot on, you're way less busy than any time in a
care.

Tnx to all for answers, Ill check Sportys and Lightspeed!
I know that the cell phone for will not work at high altitudes but for now
the most time I fly short routes at 3000-4000ft AGL and my phone works just
fine!!

I read your original post. If you can live with hearing ATC and the cell at
the same time, without priority for ATC, there's a solution for about $15
which I have used very successfully. Get an earpiece for you phone that has
the microphone built into the earbud. These may be a little hard to find
now because the bomm variety is all the rage. Jabra used to make one which
came with different colored earpieces to customize the fit in your ear.
Just slide that under the cup of your headset. The sidetone in your headset
transmits the voice well. I used this setup in Canada where cell phone use
in the air is legal.

You can see a few of the suggested corrections, (placed in (_)) to be
accepted here. Nobody will take you seriously, with writing like the above.

Actually, most people here don't want to read "English" like that above.
I spend my day reading things written by college graduates, and
certainly don't have time or patience to figure out what you meant by
the above paragraphs. Most others don't either.
And you've got to remember, if you fly, that communication is VERY
important. I'm guessing you don't fly now, but if you want to learn,
you MUST learn how to communicate in a certain way. The above is not it.

yeah, that's right! But, as I know, aviation phrazeology in English
communication is not like real world English,
there is big difference between.... and that's beacuse differences in
languages, that's simplified English with special phrases (to avoid mistakes
in communication),
am I right!?? I guess you know that, you got to know if you fly! ;)
And one more thing, Emily, no offence, but can you think a little bit and
realize that English is not always language in atc communication, maybe in
some european/other countries on domestic flights and general aviation,
before you guess I don't fly!

First, there's a HUGE different in not speaking English fluently and
using IM speak.
Second, I believe I asked if your first language was English. And as
someone who deals with commercial aviation people from OUTSIDE the
United States most of the time, I can still say that YES, English is the
international language of aviation. In fact, I deal with with
maintenance type people on six continents, and I've never run into one
person who doesn't speak English when dealing with other people in the
industry.

Ok, I agree with that, first post I wrote quckly and untill now I didn't
know what "IM speak" phrase means and didn't know that's
big problem because I see that often on USA and UK forums, so I
unintentionally start to use something like that (you=u, ....).

Now you are starting to come around, with admitting that English is not your
first language, and by typing in "real" English. You will find a much
better reception to your posts, now. You should have started that way, and
things would have been much easier for you.

This pertains to USA / FCC regulations only:
Under FCC Part 22 regulations, which describes "cellular" phones in the
850-900 Mhz band, using a Part 22 "cellular" phone while airborne is legally
prohibited.
PCS phones (e.g. T-Mobile) operate under other frequencies (e.g. 1900 Mhz band)
and are regulated under FCC Part 24. Part 24 has no prohibition against using
PCS services while airborne. I don't believe what type of phone system
(GSM/TDMA or CDMA) matters a bit. The regulation was originally made to
prohibit AMPS (analog) service, and AMPS is under Part 22 only. Some CDMA and
GSM services operate on "cellular" frequencies, and under a strict
interpretation airborne use would be prohibited. However if your telephone is
operating under the 1900 Mhz band (which only has digital PCS services,
including CDMA and GSM).
In practice, I've used a PCS phone successfully up to about 4,000 ft when it
doesn't work well. However outside of some areas, good reception is usually
concentrated near Interstates etc, which your route of flight may not follow.
Some passengers/crew on the 9/11/01 flights hijacked by terrorists were
apparently able to use their mobile phones, although I'm not sure at what
altitude they were able to do this. Other calls were made via the aircraft's
pay phones.
