You might be surprised. Developed a cellular fraud mitigation system at a large wireless carrier years ago. A side effect was we could track the route in real time coast-to-coast for our customers who accidently left their phones on in flight as the phone registered in a new roaming environments. For kicks we'd plot on a map and get the old OAG guide out and were able to determine airline and flight based on path of roaming registrations - before the flight landed. OK so we had some extra time on our hands. It was very tempting to leave a voicemail reminding them to turn their phone off.
