July 14, 200915 yr :lol: :lol: You'd have to be careful though... Mobile phones aren't allowed to be switched on on planes (although, frankly I've never bought the notion that a mobile phone could interfere with the flight telemetry, etc....), so you'd have to watch out for the flight attendants wrestling you to the ground thinking you're some kind of terrorist and then cuffing you..... :lol: I bet they have special "Ryanair" handcuffs too, and they charge you about twenty quid for the key...... :lol: hehe a fair haired steward once told me that the telemetry interference thing was more or less a veil of Maya, meant to cover up the fact that at certain heights it would be impossible for mobile companies to track down (and charge for them) any calls from and towards any provider. given the source this could be either the most accurate, reliable insight on the subject or the most vapid chat up excuse ever. another day, another corporate conspiracy

I've got a friend who works in telecommunications, I shall enquire...... I mean, I never really bought the whole interference thing anyway tbh.... It could actually be true... So, fair-haired stewards, eh...? Did you join the Mile High Club then.....? :lol:

July 17, 200915 yr Always avoid Ryanair at all costs... what at first appears to be a bargain cheap flight suddenly becomes a considerably more expensive one when they add hidden taxes etc on... plus... you have to pay for bags..... my other half was charged £20 to take a guitar out to Barcelona last NYE... then they tried to charge him £40 to bring it back?!? He left it at the airport in the end and gave it to a worker there..... Ryanair are con artists - never, ever fly with them.
July 17, 200915 yr IPhone B) Has a thing called airline mode which basically blocks all the telephony and internet but you can still use all the other features of the phone ^_^ video, ipod and so on we were not allowed mobies even on flight mode 2 weeks ago when we went to paris.

July 18, 200915 yr You'd notice the difference if you were standing and the plane hit air turbulence..... :lol: true, but that'd be the only time it'd make a difference :lol: Ouch, I have a long haul flight in Jan and was hoping to use my iPhone in flight mode and be able to use it as an iPod and play games on it I've just done 26hrs on Qantas/BA and they let you use phones in flight mode
July 19, 200915 yr Ouch, I have a long haul flight in Jan and was hoping to use my iPhone in flight mode and be able to use it as an iPod and play games on it Ive been able to use mine (phone and MP3) on flights :wacko: ....
