Hard to believe that of the 239 cell phones on the plane, even with dead owners; not one has pinged on the ground or on the way to the ground.

If it landed in Pakistan what about the passengers. If they died onboard it would require a serious response.

slit the throats of a few passengers and I’ll bet no one would dare try to hang onto their phone.

I’ve wondered if the ELINT surveillance planes have been listening for any signals on the frequencies used by mobile devices, just on the chance that a whole sackful of ‘em got thrown overboard. However the odds of surviving a landing on water or land and still having any battery power by now are zero.

Everybody on the plane had a cell phone?

I suppose if they were close enough to a cell tower they could get a call through, but not if they're more than 22-45 miles away.

But how do “we” know? You think “they” are telling everything they do know?

Why do so many think that there is cell phone service covering the entire globe? It doesn’t even cover the entire United States.

Killing the passengers, taking the phones and removing the batteries is easier than a lot of things I can think of, especially if they dove the plane and popped the oxygen masks. With masks on, you could put them all out within two minutes with CO2. The body loves CO2 as much as it does O2, and you’d keep breathing it after passing out.
