A phone call to the ramp. But Port Authority Police decided to play hero today.

I am wondering this as well....lots of posts that it can be done, but none give any indication of how they do it.
Why don't we just tell the terrorists all the secrets.
It can be looked up online, though.
But even a simple phone call would do in the case. They were still on the ground.

It is but if there is even 1% truth still I am keeping it off.
Do you really think that if there was even the smallest possible chance that a cell phone could pose a danger to the airplane that they’d still enforce this via the honor system? They don’t even allow tap water from outside of security.

What’s the safe way to let the tower know all your radios are out? Roll down the windows and yell?
There are at least 2 pilots, several FA crew, and a couple hundred passengers... reckon one of them has a cell phone? Control tower has a phone number.

Believe it or not, that’s probably not a terribly difficult mistake to make. The two codes are only one digit off. 7500 vs 7600.

Funny thing is that the rule isn’t even administered by the FAA. It’s the damn FCC.

Sat next to a flight attendant recently. (Off duty). She told me the whole put your device on airplane mode was bs. Your thoughts?
