Reliable method for air/ground communications?
Good to go, as far as I know.

cannot
be used in flight...do you know the regs under which your phone is
licensed?

Anyone have a suggestion for a reliable method for air/ground
communications in-flight?
I'd like to give a heads-up to family on the ground when I'm near (say
within 15 minutes) to landing, and am not sure how I would do that
mid-
flight.
I just use a cell-phone. Either text message them, or just call them.
If
they hear my voice, I can tell them there's a delay. If all they hear
is
noise, I'm fifteen minutes out.

The Manual for my cell phone says it complies wiht Part 15.
