I have flown several times since 9/11. Twice going to and from New York and Oregon and several flights to Arizona to Oregon and back. In each flight I would turn on my cell phone to see if I could get a connection. I always got no service available to apear on my sceen.
About a year ago I read on the internet that in order for people to use cell phones on flying aircraft the airplanes would need to have a special antenna installed. This has not begun to happen yet.
So my question would be. If you can not get service on your cell phone while flying in an airplane. On 9/11 how did the people on board those doomed aicraft manage to use their cell phone to call out to their loved ones? I’m not counting the people who used the available at great cost aircraft phones just the ones who are said to have used their cell phones.
Just one of the holes in the vast 9/11 story.

Russell asked:


When I purchased a Net10 cell phone, I was required to provide a land line phone number to activate it through their website. Now I want to change my cell phone number, but I do not have a land line, and Net10 refuses to change the cell phone number because I do not have a land line. I have no use for a land line. Why does Net10 require me to have a land line to activate a cell phone?

I have a friend who is going to get sent to Iraq, and i hear there are cell phones out there that they call “unlocked” that get reception in Iraq. I also heard it depends on the service as well as effectiveness of the phone reception. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks so much.
