Cellular data access in-flight

I have heard that cell phone calls don't work well while flying because of hitting too many towers at the same time. But what about Internet access from a Smartphone. Does that work? In Germany, you have internet access in-flight even when you can't do voice calls. Not very reliable, but good enough for SkyLines live tracking via XCSoar (http://www.skylines-project.org/tracking/). A clubmate went to South Africa last winter, and he had reliable internet up to 6000m. XCSoar can already load METAR/TAF during the flight, and we want to implement more live weather data, like map overlays.
