I found this on my travels on the internet , I am not a technical buff by any means , and I always believed that you couldnt use your cell phone from the Aircraft because of the interference this technology would generate . Now the official story of 9-11 rests on the fact that cell phone calls said to have been made from the hijacked aircraft whilst in flight . This article confirms that cell phones require special equipment to be installed on planes in order to work while in flight.
maybe you should have read this before posting http://edition.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/03/03/phones.mail/index.html Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! or how about this http://mobileoffice.about.com/cs/ontheroad/f/cells_airplanes.htm i believe it is for safety purposes and NOT because the wont work, also calls were made from phones provided ON the planes too. he he he. ......................NEXT. we could figure that out.
Your links just validate what I wrote in my post Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Yeah whatever mate . Read this .
the reason cellphones dont work is because of their distance from signal towers. on this one im going to have to side with brian foley. please ban brian foley.
Brian Foley wrote: no they dont at all, if they do past a single line of text frome either of those links that validate what you wrote. this is frome one of the links, BOTH my link state (quit obviously) their use is banned because of interferance with nav equipment which wouldnt have been a priority. Brian it is a fact that signals can get through at airliner altitudes not 100% successfully (sp) BUT everyone today carries a cell phone so maybe during the duration of the hijacking of all the planes 30 people tried to use them and a few were connected. in addition we dont know the altitudes these planes were at the whole time the were being flown erratically DO WE? however a child would conclude that these planes at some points were far below the limits of cell phone capabilities. Honestly it does not take a genuis to prove you "discovery" wrong....sorry dude. as i stated (which you ignored) a flight attendant used an onboard phone (they do work btw, thats why they are there- AND IT WAS recorded)- you are denying the obvious on all counts relating to these hijackings, which is ok here but in the real world people will think your an idiot...thats all. _________________--- dont bring a knife to a gunfight.

i would rather say: "bring a brain to an intellectual discussion". you are wrong, and foley is right. thats all there is to it. god, i feel sick saying that. please ban brian foley.
I regularly use my cell phone from small aircraft, and it works best at lower altitudes. Higher than 5,000' service gets progressively spottier, to the point of being almost useless above 10,000- especially over metropolitan areas. It seems like the fewer towers in range, the better. During the 9-11 drama, passengers may have had better cell service because they were sadly riding along on low-level attack missions, just as the hijackers were trained to do.
Once again, some calls were made on the phones provided on the plane- so does it really matter?? Im still waiting for Brian to come up with an explination to what happened to all the people who were supposed to be on those planes. They called and talked to their loved ones- so if they were not on a plane, then they pretended to be on a plane?? That just doesnt make any sense. Brian, get help.
The passengers on Flight 93 did use cell phones because of the location they used a variety of towers. I can confirm that 35 miles out from the crash site the plan was very low. It was a wonder that it cleared the Laurel Mountain. The now famous "Lets Roll" call connected to the then GTE center at Johnsontown PA what is less known is that one of the passengers was on the phone with a 911 operator and supervisor when the plane crashed.
An exhilarating ride, especially from up front. Have you ever gone 500 knots along the treetops? I call it going ape shit and it's hard to describe. Some say "HOOOOAH!" and others whispered "la'illa'ilahuilullah, wa muhammederrasoolulah". But there's no difference. Not like there is adifference between civilian flight school curricula at Huffman Aviation (cessna 172s) and, let's just say, Dhahran Airbase ( F-15Es). It also happens to be the only way in which these Arabian Knights of Flying Death learned to do the highly technical stick-and-rudder moves that they did. 3-for-3. But too uproarious a story for any media. Do you think there is not media arm-twisting going on? The truth is out there, between the hideiously arm-twisted and the simply twisted. Out: ...there.
Good god - the Towers and the Pentagon were 30,000 feet in height? It's no wonder they came down when those planes crashed into them. Geoff
Again - it's a safety issue, not a functional issue. I've called people from cell phones on planes (oooh evil me) and it works. Even a fucking Motorola manages. Could you possibly conceive of the fact that the Eastern seaboard is loaded with towers? I agree that Foley is not a technical buff by any means. Geoff
I don't understand why you always look for the excuses (yes I'm using the word excuse) Geoff, it seems like you won't take anything at face value. Instead you exagerrate the possibilities sooo much that any possible resolution becomes impossible. Towers don't have an unlimited range of reception, and had a call been made.. the speed of the plane would cause such a fast roaming that I doubt the carrier could communicate roaming protocols fast enough.
I even wrote a thread about that guy phoning from the plane a saying he saw a flashing light outside the plane . Now I am not so sure . Were those phone calls made ? Seriously wouldnt hijackers taken all those cellphones off them ? Your right it doesnt make any sense especially when you consider that the link I gave comes from a airline pilots website and they are discussing the fact that you now have technology to make such calls . I dont believe that " lets roll " story one bit I say that plane was shot down . Yeah , LOL so accurate .
Face value? Now I shouldn't be critical? You're making generalizations here about me that I could as easily do for you! Look, when you start taking things at face value - say, about two planes crashing into towers - let me know. I'm basing my positions on actual data here, and I haven't the foggiest how you can say I'm looking for excuses or "exaggerating possibilities". RRRGH - they CAN, I've bloody DONE it (...a mistake, I admit. Didn't even think about what I was doing, tired.). Even a fucking Motorola can keep up, apparently. Geoff
How? Would they have even had enough time? Cell phones are small and easy to hide. And why? Who could they have called who would have helped? SAFELY Unsubstantiated opinion from someone who hates Yanks. No bias there. Geoff
