Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?

I watched the movie United 93 and I saw people using their cell phones while the plane was in the air (when it was going down) - is it possible to use your cell phone on the airplane if it is low enough?Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?Well i saw an episode of Mythbusters and they tested the theory that if you use a cell phone on a plane it messes with the plane's equipment and crashes. They found out that it has no effect on the important devices, but it's not wise to take the chance. technically you can use a cellphone on a plane, but the airline most likely forbids it. I would rather be safe than sorry.Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?
Well, since it was Flight 93 they used their phones to try and contact airline officials to report what was going on and to contact family members because they knew they would never see them again. Normally they don't allow you to use your phone while the plane is in the air, regardless of the altitude.Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?The regulations about cell phone use are governed by the FAA. No, you can't use it. I don't care what studies say what. If the FAA says no, they have a reason.

For every study that says it is safe, there will be another that says it isn't. A study from Carnegie Mellon within the last 5 years found there IS a level of interference.Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?
No. The flight attendant tells you not to. Its really not an issue if it physically works while on the plane.Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?The FAA currently prohibits the use of cell phones while in flight, although they are researching the effects and may eventually allow them. They are concerned that they will interfere with the radio communications of the jet with air traffic control. Although not advisable under any circumstances, your cell phone will work if the plane is flying low enough (under 5,000 feet.)Can you use your cell phone at low altitudes on a plane?
yes you can use your phone even at higher altitudes. I was once a flight attendant and I left my phone on accidently in my pocket and it went off mid flight, of course I didnt answer it but I realized that my phone actually got service.
