![]() "DaveC" wrote in message al.net... Cell phone usage is restricted on all domestic commercial flights by the FAA, so the flight attendant keeps telling me. I seem to recall that this wasn't so, early in cellular history. Weren't we able to use cell phones on flights, long ago? Is cell phone usage also restricted on private jets, etc. for similar reasons? So my question... what is the technical reason for restriction of cell phone us on commercial flights? Is this reason valid, technically? Or is it simply an excuse to force anyone who needs to make a call to use the airline's on-board phones (and pay their outrageous rates)? Thanks, -- Please, no "Go Google this" replies. I wouldn't ask a question here if I hadn't done that already. DaveC This is an invalid return address Please reply in the news group No you cannot use your phone, But you can use their phone at $3.00 a min. |
