Maybe this is old news, but it's new to me. Take a look at:

This is a service for cell phones that tracks movement and allows the
track log to be downloaded to a website for later viewing. It records
pretty much everything that our gps flight recorders do. Of course, it
is dependent on service coverage. This is targeted at personal fitness
and training markets, but might be useful for soaring. Even if it's not,
something like this might be the future of flight recording.


Well, maybe it will work, but you are in violation of Title 47:
Telecommunication
PART 22‹PUBLIC MOBILE SERVICES
Subpart H‹Cellular Radiotelephone Service

which states:
"§ 22.925 Prohibition on airborne operation of cellular telephones.

Cellular telephones installed in or carried aboard airplanes, balloons or
any other type of aircraft must not be operated while such aircraft are
airborne (not touching the ground). When any aircraft leaves the ground, all
cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off. "
