Ok, color me stupid, but if cell phones go in the water, they don’t ring do they?

Now it’s the “Twilight Zone.” Or is it “Lost”?

The phone isn’t ringing. The system is.

Active cell phones can be easily tracked. It would be irresponsible to not have already done this.

The phone companies should be able to tell if they get a ping from the phone or if the towers are just sending out the signal blindly.

When you call someone you don’t hear their telephone ring, you hear a ringback tone supplied by the telephone network.

That just tells you that the network is sending out a signal to ring the other telephone.

One man leaving his phone behind on dry land so that it rings is one thing...

but several phones ringing is quite another...

I don’t believe that cell phones work like land lines where in order for the phone to ring, there has to be an actual connection from source to destination made.

What...no GPS positioning on the phone?

I would guess that the phone was in a bag in the baggage department and the baggage is floating someplace.

We need to find out if he called his bro right after he boarded or visa versa.

I suppose I should read the entire article first.

Just for the heck of it, I took the battery out of my cell phone and then used my home phone to call my cell phone. I still got a ringing sound.

Not sure this is proof of a conspiracy.

Now, about the stolen passports....

This is a common claim after airplane crashes.

It’s a misunderstanding of how the cell phones work, and a desire not to accept what has happened.

One other thing...it’s next to impossible that a cell phone site could be reached from that location or that a cell phone on the airplane would register on a site that is within reach of that location.

What's missing...a message on the receiving end? Do cell phones have them?

No one is getting a message...only a ring.

I seriously doubt that there are any cell phone towers near the plane's last known location.

When you dial a phone (land line OR cell), the ringing you hear in your ear as the caller has NOTHING to do with the actual ringing of the destination phone.

Prove it yourself by calling another phone in the same room and compare the sound in the earpiece to the actual ringing.

You can unplug a landline phone, and if you call it from another number, you still hear “ringing” in the earpiece.

I don’t know if it’s universal or not, but if a cell phone is turned off, or otherwise out of reach of a cell tower, the caller will hear one ring and it goes directly to voice mail. If someone doesn’t have the voice mail option, I don’t know what happens.

These questions could all be answer by calling one number. NSA.

All cell phones calls through at the NSA headquarters, then forward to the cell phone once the recorders activate.
