Thanks for the reply, very good point,.....but.....
If what your saying is true then since the RF form the cell towers below is so weak I shouldnt be able to use my phone at all, and if I do by chance get a signal on my phone, should I alert the pilot?
I wish I had the time to read all this and research and find one single credible instance of a cell phone causing interference to any avionics. (Right now I'm writing SQL and it driving me nuts.)
"...and secondly you are going to be flying OVER mobile phone masts (with a lot more power output) and getting very, very close to them and mobile phones whenever you come into land and taxi...."
.
Exactly, What about flying over and very near powerful cell phone towers on approach, landings and take offs? Shouldn't those be turned off also? I've always considered the danger of cell phones in airplanes a "convenient myth" used by airlines. And no, I don't use my cell phone on air planes out of courtesy to others.
