Has anyone heard if any passengers contacted loved ones?


The dog that didn’t bark.

The plane was blown up, no time to text or call.

They couldn’t, unless they had satellite phones onboard. The plane was 400 miles from the nearest land, no way a cellphone would get a signal.

Well, of course a cell would not work....but a Sat phone would, I'll have to peruse some news stories to see. It seems like we would have heard from families by now.

While there were rumors of "I'm scared" texts from passengers having been received, the plane was hundreds of miles out at sea, no cell towers, etc. Only a sat-phone might have worked out there.

If you are over the ocean you will not have cell phone service. If something is happening fast you probably don’t have time to use the back of the seat phones if they had any on the plane.

The incident occurred out at sea, far out of cell range.
