It has been suggested that phone calls made from 9/11 flights were made through the Verizon AirFone system. I was wondering if anyone here could elaborate on the temporal and physical restraints for this system - and this hypothesis.
I am wondering about the registration process for both new AirFone users - how long does it take to sign up? and current users - How long would it take to swipe a credit card, log in, - and dial? - And does the AirFone system have a directory of sorts - or did all the passengers know all the numbers they were dialing off of the tops of their heads? Thanks in advance. cheers |

Some cell phone calls are said to have taken place at 25000 feet.
I never really look at my phone inflight... but, i have left mine on.. shhhh.... (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) When i do.. i usually get the voicemail alert going off on short final once it picks up a signal... almost made me go around once.. (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I can see a cell phone getting service at 10000 if you're flying over high terrain with a cell tower on a peak. I think i may have seen service near 10,000 while flying a King Air. Not sure about these FL250 calls though... I think Mark Bigham ("Hi mom.. its Mark Bigham. .you believe me, dont you mom?") was reported to have made a cell call from above 25000. |
