No idea. Mine was just a throwaway reply to a throwaway remark - i.e. if BA's planes "are empty" (present tense) then by the same definition Ryanair's must be even emptier.

I hate mobile phones and planes. The pax will be shouting to be heard over the engine noise. I enjoy the flight when it does not contain businessmen talking into the phone.(thanks to a horrible bus ride)

So how long will it be before some medical expert jumps on the bandwagon and declares that being in a confined space such as a long metalic tube (AKA an aircraft fuselage) surrounded by dozens of mobile phones transmitting xxnumber of watts could seriously damage your health? Kinda puts the mobile network transmitter in the back garden in the shade doesn't it
Will I be able to scream 'violation of my space/privacy/sanity/health/rights' whatever and demand the crew have the perpetrator switch the offending item off?
if you can't afford to be out of contact whilst flying - don't fly!

Block that 'phone!
Just ask your friends in the USA to buy one of these for you and carry it on board with you.
It will ensure your sanity, anyway.

With prices as low as twenty-odd dollars you can't afford to be without one, especially as they jam those pesky GPS wotsits as well!

I'd love one of those jammers for my next trip in the so-called "Quiet Carriage" on Great Western, but they won't ship to the UK because they're illegal over here

So I guess I could buy one in the US and just carry it home in my luggage? I hate phones on trains, people are such twats and have no conception of manners ( said ranty Daily Mail reading pensioner....) anyhoo, there ought to be a "Mobile" carriage where you CAN use the phone with a blanket ban otherwise. I believe such behaviour is considered appalling in Japan....
Racedo is right ( again ? really ? ) ! Don't even think about using them in flight! Plod would have a field day....

Conductor eventually reminded them that 1.) it was against the law and you were required to go to end of carraige 2.) if another passenger complained the train would make an emergency stop and they would be arrested and J-Rail passes would get confiscated and cancelled.
Funnily enough they complied very quickly.
Do love Japan as it is so civilised.

Why are people so bothered by this? The background noise levels in the cabin mean that you would only hear people in your immediate vicinity and they are dealt with by using Noise Canx headphones and your iPod.
I am someone who does NOT like intrusive use of mobile phone but I just don't think that this is going to be the problem that people think it is. For the ones that are truly a nuisance, comfort yourself with the fact they are going to get a VERY nasty shock on their bill.

Hey Hey!
Just found this whilst browsing through Vodafone's (Ireland) price plans. Well now I don't suppose FR would be in a rush to make this known to all their passengers
>>>copied from Vodafone Ireland website >>>
Some airlines, including Ryanair, are now making it possible for passengers to use their mobiles during flights. However, all in-flight mobile phone calls require a satellite link up, which results in very high costs for customers, over and above our normal charges for roaming across Europe. In order to determine customer demand for the service and to protect customers from the possibility of higher-than-expected charges, Vodafone Ireland have decided not to make this service available to our customers at this time.

Thankfully, despite being forced to use Ryanair a lot, I've yet to experience anyone using a mobile on board.
But Ryanair seem to have more than compensated for this by now making the request for trolley-dolly services TWICE
and has introduced lots of other intrusive, stultifying announcements to mimic the most obstreperous phone user.
Flying Ryanair doesn't make you a chav but go to any airport anywhere and you're bound to be embarrassed by a group of rowdy Brits making complete arseholes of themselves, sorry.
