Mobile Flight Mode?
You cannot dial any number whilst in "Flight Mode" as it is impossible, try it you won't even get a dial out tone. This also applies to certain parts of the phone like the radio or bluetooth.
Reply:No it wont work, flight mode essentially renders the mobile unable to transmit or receive any signals whatsoever so that the aircraft's communications are not interfered with. Attempting to dial 999 will prompt the phone to ask you if you want to leave flight mode.
Reply:I doubt it will work at 30,000' You can try, but I would expect ot get arrested as soon as you land.
Reply:No it won't work because the transmitter is turned off. The phone will not be communicating with the cellular network.
Reply:It shouldn't work, when the phone is in flight mode it doesn't try to connect to the network at all.
