Nineteen relatives have had this experience calling the cell phones of loved ones who were passengers on the ill-fated flight.
My only problem with this phenomenon is that in order for cell phones to work, there's got to be cell phone coverage of your area in order to make contact. Otherwise, cell phone service is disabled. Does calling a cell phone in an area without coverage have the phone ring as well? I don't think so but am not sure. The disappearance of the plane would point to trouble with the aircraft itself and not with the craft being overpowered and forced to land at some secret location.
Inexplicable, mysterious, baffling.
Why would they head back WEST?
Tehran is not in that direction.
I don’t get it.
Modern irony:
Stuff that isn’t man-made is said to be, and stuff that probably was man-made is said it wasn’t.
As stated on another thread, the phones do not ring, it is the network giving the caller feedback while a connection is attempted.
Good point. I also wonder about hijacking, changing course. If it were hijacked, I’d suspect they tried to land the jet somewhere. Why change course just to crash it into the ocean?
They would be able to tell what towers the phones were near if someone was answering them.
Even if the phones were just ON they could tell where they were near by what cell towers they were pinging
I’ve been wondering if it was possibly a capture mission. Since passengers and crew alike, on regular airline flights, are more alert to the potential for hijacking and terrorism, maybe someone wanted to grab their own large aircraft so they can at some point use it as a flying bomb with minimal interference.
That said, I know the odds are that it will turn out to have crashed somewhere due to some non-terrorism-related cause.
I’m starting to think the aircraft was shot down by a Malaysian F/A-18 and don’t want to admit it. This would explain why Malaysian authorities are having searchers look in places they know the aircraft ISN’T.
They’re in Purgatory.
No phones in the other two locations.....
Cell calls must connect to a tower....if the calls are truly connecting to the miss person phones then there would be a record of what cell tower the call was connecting on
Call somebody who is sitting right next to you. You will usually hear at leat two ‘rings’ before their phone really rings. The rings you hear on the cell network are just time filling feedback...but not really ‘rings’. They could probably fill that same air time with muzak or ads just as easily.
If you have a friend or family member nearby, and you both have cell phones, try this. One of you remove the battery from your phone and have the other call that phone.
You’ll hear a “ring” or the voicemail message will play. It is an automated tone and has nothing to do with connection. I’ve been out of coverage areas and when I got back into a coverage area, voicemails or records of missed calls pop up. They were stored elsewhere until my phone reconnected with the satellite or tower. My callers “reached” me but didn’t, really.
There is a “third person” on the line—the NSA.
They were ringing through to cloned phones in the hands of criminals and reptiles?
When you call a cell phone, depending on the network and model of phone, you will here a ring in your phone while the network searches for the phone you are calling. If the network cannot find the phone it will eventually connect to voicemail or hang up if they don’t have voice mail. In other words if you hear a ring it does not necessary mean the other phone is connected and ringing.
I know that when I call on my phone I here a ringing that shifts to a different frequency once the network finds the other phone.
I called Amelia but her cellphone didn`t answer.
They flew through a time warp and are either thousands of years in the past or into the future.
Here’s MY “way out” theory on the missing MH370 airline flight.
The flight from Kuala Lampur to Bejing is about 2700 miles.
The distance from the point where the plane is reported to have made about a 120 degree to the northwest from its northerly flightpath to Beijing was approximately 280 miles from the origin point in Kuala Lampur.
Distance from that turn to the northwest to southern Pakistan and/or southern Iran is about 2600 miles.
If the aircraft was taken over by people trained to operate the 777 or had a cooperative crew, by dropping to a lower altitude and dropping airspeed to conserve fuel, they COULD, assuming they stayed below the radar, overfly India and make it to Pakistan or Iran before Bingo fuel.
If that IS what happened, somebody with evil intent now has available a very large airplane for whatever they have in mind.
They also have 239 or so bargaining chips to trade for money or other favors from the Chinese government.
The other possibility is that it went into the drink in the 11,000 foot deep Bay of Bengal and the search for wreckage is being conducted in the wrong place.

Some expert has commented that the ringing phones could be no more than the system trying to find the particular phones being dialed - personally I think it’s a dry run to find out how far they can fly a plane undetected before they can get to a specific destination - look out White House......
People calling me left voice mail messages even though my outgoing message said that I was not able to receive any phone calls until I got back to the states. You could tell who didn't listed to the message by what their message was; they didn't notice that I wasn't in cell range, in fact my phone was off.
The “ringing” they’re hearing is the computer trying to find a network. It’ll ring a few times then hang up. Now, if they were getting a voice mail recording, I think that might mean something.
