That’s truly heart wrenching. I still have never understood how they got cell phones to work on a plane though. Mine always lose service shortly after take off.

On top of that, GTE was the provider for the air phones installed on many airliners.

The guy may have picked up a receiver off a seat and taken it with him if it were cordless.
