Anyone have a suggestion for a reliable method for air/ground
communications in-flight?

I'd like to give a heads-up to family on the ground when I'm near (say
within 15 minutes) to landing, and am not sure how I would do that mid-
flight.

I just use a cell-phone. Either text message them, or just call them. If
they hear my voice, I can tell them there's a delay. If all they hear is
noise, I'm fifteen minutes out.
