Back in the day airlines would charge you a premium to call from the plane.
300+ cellphones suddenly hogging an antenna as they roam by may be inconvenient for the carrier. Can you actully get reception up so high even?
If cellphones really did interfere with airplanes, there would've been a lot of crashes because of it, there's always a smart ass.
Every once in a while during a flight, I'll get an email or a text gets through after a brief connection with a tower. That or my time zone will update based on the tower is connected to.
Now the charge you a premium for wifi.
