Mobile phone reception in flight
This old chestnut again......
But I just flew London to Larnaca and inadvertently left my phone, in my pocket, switched on. I'm sure I have found I have done this before and never noticed any difference. But I was surprised on arrival to see I had a series of SMS messages :
16.17. Welcome to Vodafone Germany
17.02. Welcome to Vodafone Croatia
17.34. Welcome to Vodafone Albania
17.55. Welcome to Vodafone Greece
19.01. Welcome to Vodafone Cyprus
Cruising at normal altitudes throughout.
So it would appear that the mobile signals from the ground do penetrate the aircraft cabin at altitude, which others have denied before, and which I have not experienced either. Any others have this experience ?
