Always wanted to do something like this but you can't send messages on the plane, your phone has to be in flight mode
Lots of planes have in-flight wi-fi these days, so instant messages are fine. Looks like iMessage in the OP, so I’ll rate it as plausible!
Ah, you're right, that might be possible — I've never flown a plane like this so didn't consider it
Your phone doesn't have to be in flight mode. Its fun to run a GPS speedometer app during takeoff (I've heard).
Not in flight mode, but you can sometimes get a connection during approach when you're low enough. Flight mode really just prevents your phone from wasting energy trying to reach cell towers that aren't in range. It's not like you have to use it.
Also in-flight wifi with satellite interent is becoming more common.
I pretend to put in in flight mode but then I don't.
I have NEVER put my phone on Airplane Mode because Fuck Them.
Wdym fuck em. They kindly ask you to turn your phone into flight mode, likely because it might interfere with the plane's communication system and cause safety problems. What have they done wrong to you, they're just doing their job of providing you a safe flight
It's not going to interfere with the flight. In 35 years of ubiquitous cell phones, and 45,000 flights per day, has a plane crash ever been attributed to one? If a single cell phone could bring down a plane, they'd be totally banned from society.
At the very least, they would hold them until you got off the flight. They search us, X-ray us, frisk us, make us take off shoes, belts, confiscate water, shampoo, etc., but they let every single person on with a trigger to bring down the plane, as long as they promise to put it in airplane mode? Sure, that will stop every terrorist.
Grow up, and don't belong everything they tell you. In fact, don't believe ANYTHING they tell you. Use your Critical a Thinking Skills, and don't ever be afraid to tell some pushy, insistent asshole to fuck all the way off.
People not asserting themselves by rejecting bullshit is what has brought us here.
