It's not likely. I've never gotten a signal. They may have wifi though.

You can still do airplane mode and turn Wi-Fi on separately (IF the carrier offers it) to handle this case. I actually do this when I'm trying to conserve the battery and just need Wi-Fi.
I used to have data from Honolulu to the big island all the way but they didn't get high on the flight and it's only like 35 Minutes

I totally agree with EpicFlair, is that really a chance you want to take. Take a book with you and read instead.
Usually above 10000 ft msl you will lose signal. Most flights well go over that altitude so I'm going to say you will probably lose signal on your flight

The FAA is actually considering cchanging the electronics regulations on flights. Since the early 90s most of the avionics on commercial aircraft have been EMF sheilded and post 9/11 the EMF sheilding has gotten even more sophisticated, as well as they have changed the frequencies alot.of their electronics function on to prevent terrorists from using an EMF emitter or other electronic device to simply interfere with flight equipment to bring a plane down. They have more recently (since 2009/10) been doing extensive testing on the effects of electronics and their ability to actually interfere or harm the flight avionics and have found that there is little to no threat of standard consumer electronics doing any harm to the plane or its equipment. During takeoff and landing are the only times there's even minor interference and the FCC and FAA are now debating on putting cell repeaters on the bottom of the planes similiar to the antennas they use for in-flight wifi. But currently it is still against regulations except during specified times when electronics are allowed to be in use, however you won't get any cell service in-flight because cell towers broadcast out and downwards and very little of the cell spectrum travels upwards

I thought their response was fair. HTC does have a built in error reporting function on its phones that you can decline to participate in. In addition, Carrier IQ is on many of their phones at the request of the carrier. So Sprint goes to HTC and says, we want you to install this on the EVO 3D, and they do it. It's up to Sprint to allow for an opt in or opt out feature. Right now, the only way to opt out is to not buy the phone, or void your warranty and root to remove it.

This is true, but the biggest question that is the most important, is why carrier IQ built an app that can track keystrokes, read txt, websites, email, passwords, record audio, and the end point is that you never know it. That is breaking 4 federal laws and just because a company asks to use it, it is still illegal for them to put it on the phones. The info that the carriers need to "fix" there crappy networks is easily collected from tower data not the phone. And the other BIG one is smart phones are still only 50% of the market so all those dumb phones out there never send this data since Carrier IQ is not on those, so why "monitor" just smartphones?????
So not only are the carriers at fault, Carrier IQ is at a bigger fault because they are actually installing it into the roms then giving it back to the carrier, and ALL the info collected goes straight to Carrier IQ first, then to the carriers.
The simple fact is, it is Carrier IQ's app, they install it, and they collect the data.
I wonder how secure CIQ servers are from hackers breaking in and accessing the information that comes from phones, or target certain phones to transmit its logs.

From the article it looks like the fee is waived if you pay with ACH or are enrolled in Auto-Pay... Cell phone bills are one thing I like to pay manually, personally, but at least it's an option... I really wanted to stay with Verizon, but I didn't want to pay $10 more than Sprint for limited data... Even if the Verizon network blows away Sprint's out here.
I don't blame them.
They have to find a way to continue to pay all those technicians all that overtime to go out and fix that ultra-superior-reliable-never-breaks-except-more-than-every-other-carrier-combined LIGHTENING BOLT network.

With the new phone (and probably some upgraded towers in my area) I'm regularly getting 3G download speed of at least 1meg these days. Much better than a few months ago when I I would rarely get above 100 kb. Things are getting better. I can hardly wait for LTE.
As far as the prepaid users, as long as they are paying their bills, welcome aboard! If you don't like them, you probably don't like cheapskates like me either with the $50 unlimited SERO plan.
Can someone clue me in on the split and how it happened
