I think the language on that report was misleading. I read that to mean that people waiting on passengers on that plane were sending messages to the passengers, not the other way.

Looking up sources for the original article, it is now being denied. And there was much discussion on here about the ability to send messages via conventional cell phones.

I saw those discussions: the passengers had sattelite phones, not normal cel phones. A lot of international travelers have them, apparently; business connections for frequent overseas corporate types.

where did you see this?
I heard a report on ABC news on WLSAM radio saying that passengers aboard the doomed airliner called friends and relatives to say goodbye minutes before it went down.
