Side lobe cell comms.

If you happen to pass through one of a cell site's side lobes you could communicate until you punched out of it. If you happened to know the location of the ground site, and you did some pre-flight planning you could orbit the ground site (inside that side lobe) and communicate until you ran out of fuel. Might not want to do this over the US of A.
