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!!!!"

If English is not your native language, I apologize. If it is, you need
serious remedial work.

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 really don't speak English!! Pillow talk is the conversation
between two individuals that takes place in bed (as in your use of "bed
Enlish, rather than bad English).

This is an adult group. The first thing you need to do if you want to be
taken seriously, is to use the IM style writing.

This is not IM.

Then, grow up.

willing to help each other..... (most of them)


I cant see anything wrong in my question, but i see provocation in your post
and that irritate me!! So, give me a break with
your stupid posts and stupid age questions, Im not going to go down at your
level and argue with you,!!

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.

Also, you are wrong, and most of the people here are like me. They don't
want to suffer through reading your IM drivel.

<chuckle> I followed the rule of making a mistake, while pointing out
other's mistakes, didn't I?

The intended wording was "not use" instead of use.

Not sure what your problem is, I was refering to Jim's comment. I like
the fact that I can use the plane as an excuse to turn the cell phone
OFF ;-).

That's ok, really good excuse, but sometimes you or your passengers have to
make important call! Genneraly, I agree with you!

According to a Lightspeed note, it says the "FCC only allows the use
of a cell phone within the cockpit when the plane is on the ground".

It is irrelavant what Lightspeed says.

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.

14 CFR 91.21 doesn't have that distinction....

No, but it allows the pilot in command to permit the operation.
