Cell phone usage is restricted on all domestic commercial flights by the

FAA,
so the flight attendant keeps telling me.

I seem to recall that this wasn't so, early in cellular history. Weren't

we
able to use cell phones on flights, long ago?

Is cell phone usage also restricted on private jets, etc. for similar
reasons?

So my question... what is the technical reason for restriction of cell

phone
us on commercial flights? Is this reason valid, technically? Or is it

simply
an excuse to force anyone who needs to make a call to use the airline's
on-board phones (and pay their outrageous rates)?

Thanks,

Please, no "Go Google this" replies. I wouldn't
ask a question here if I hadn't done that already.

No you cannot use your phone, But you can use their phone at $3.00 a min.
