I looked into the law concerning the use of GSM phones on airlines. It is simple and straight forward that it is illegal to use mobile phones in aircrafts. Just have a look at you phone manuals; and as Fingers said why even bother. Just follow the law. No point in trying to use the phone on the aeroplane. Just switch it off before you board the plane and have a pleasent and a peaceful journey
Also, I heard the use of GSM mobile phones in cars interfere with the breaking system to some extent. Is this true???

I'm not sure about the brakes, might have a possible interference issue with older ABS though.
Also there was some problems with airbags, but that's been solved now.

refer to my posts on Page 2 of this to understand the point being made.
no one suggested mobiles should be used during flights, myself along with cykoman suggested the rules are not clearly visible for passengers to understand where they stand as well as differing from airline to airline.
now before you post more comments go back and read and try to understand whats been written please.
Bjerkebanen, i just cant understand what your saying mate.

Yeah I've heard that older abs systems on cars could've been affected by gsm mobiles.
It's usually quite clearly marked on the safety card that you can't use you phone on the plane, and you're supposed to read that aren't you
and any airline I've ever flown on always mentions it over the PA, but not everybody always pays attention to it, you could be talking to someone and miss it, but they usually say it when they're doing the safety demo.

Bit off topic but about using mobiles on trains:
I read an article not long ago about how the construction and materials used in most train cars refelect a large amount of the radio signals back into the train from the mobile.
Experts even belived that with just a normal train with an average number of passengers having their phones on standby can double or even triple the safty level. So imagine a crowded train where 5-10 people are using their phones.
I think it even mentioned that certain Japanese trains & tubes requested that mobiles be turned off while onboard (altho not many ppl are listening).

Take you cell phone near monitor or speaker what happens?
Okay those devices are not protected, but...
Anyway if there is a risk why take it? Secondly do you really want to hear other people conversations during the fligh. Cell Phones are good devices, but we do not need them everythere.

still not reading the posts?
if mobile phones are not to be used on board aircraft period, it's very unintelligent to put a notice regarding this on the safety card on board the aircraft as many airlines do...what they should do is have notices before you board or print it on the boarding card as i've said before had you read.
for most holiday travellers getting on a plane is a rare occasion, for business travellers it can be every week and thats where the inadequate sign posts detailing what the rules are become apparent.
this was the point being made, if you read the posts you'd have understood.

I don't see what you're getting at, any airline I've ever flown (or worked for) always tells you before boarding and during the safety briefing, most airlines use generic tickets so it's not always on there. But I have seen boarding passes with it written on. and if you listen and read the available information you should see that you can't use them, all the airlines have to do is make the information available they're not responsible for people that ignore it, they've done their bit. Anyway I just keep them flying I don't write the rules
