"Your phone is a transmit/send radio.

Known as a transceiver"

Uh, wouldn't that be a transmit only radio?

One day, long ago in extreme northern and eastern MT we wanted to make a phone call. Finally got some analog "bars" on the top of a SE facing "hill".

Stopped and made the call.

When we looked at the phone bill later, we were surprised to find the call had been made through Bismarck, half a state away.

LOL.

"during an epic reenactment of the Battle of Troy. "

One can certainly get carried away with those home schooled history courses.

I have never heard this from my husband in all the years he’s been in the cockpit. Not even once. I’ll ask him though, when he lands.
