New Milford, CT | Re: great, cell phones replacing the crying baby Just consider what it's like to get an $82 bill for a 5-minute phone call from GTE AirFone. I'd rather use my cell. | |

Milpitas, CA | Re: great, cell phones replacing the crying baby Verizon Wireless customers can have their cellphone forwarded to Airfone. It is treated like a "roaming" call: $0.69/minute. Or you can pay a $10/mo fee and then calls are $0.10/min. Automatically "unforwards" when you get off the plane. | |

Tthe airlines create specific flights that are "cell-phone" enabled / disabled.. kinda like what they did with smoking / non-smoking flights.
Worse yet, when you book a flight one of the new quesitons will be; "Do you want to be on a Cell-phone use area of the plane or not?" I can just imagine folks that want to use thier cell phones in flight will book a seat in the non-cell phone area, then get up and walk to the area of the plane; stand in the isle and make their calls...
This is gonna get ugly | |

Babies are just annoying, but I don't see this as being a big problem.

not in ohio | phone is not required I have resolved that if the person next to me has the right to talk into a phone, loudly and past the point of annoyance, then I have the right to talk into a non-phone, loudly and past the point of annoyance. | |

clubs: | Re: phone is not required easy solution eat some air line food and 10 min later you should be able to fart louder then the person on the phone. It may not shut them up but it will make them move and then they are someone els's problem | |

| Re: great, cell phones replacing the crying baby Unfortunately, some people seem to assume that if the cellular connection isn't great or there's background noise that SPEAKING LOUDER FIXES THE PROBLEM.
In public places, you can frequently distinguish who's carrying on a cell conversation from others carrying on interpersonal conversation without even seeing them. Many of them basically scream into the phone.
That would get really annoying sitting next to someone on a plane who's trying to look important or is just bored and wanting to yak with their friend/girlfriend/boyfriend/kid/parent/co-worker, etc.
If people actually carried on cellular conversations at reasonable volume, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

| At the supermarket, when the person in front of you is talking about NOTHING and is not paying attention to the cashier...then they want to write a check or need a price check on an item ...I tell them to get off the damn phone & pay attention...
9 times out of 10 they hang up and move on. I have NO PROBLEM letting someone know I do not appreciate their phone conversation when it is infringing on me and my space. Just how important can a call be? You do have voice mail and an earphone, right? | |

Bluetooth handsfree in ear blabbing away to someone I have to business blabbing with at the moment, bouncing my tirelessly wailing baby on knee while clicking away on my Wi-Fi with the other hand and smoking a cigarette [cuz I'm hoping they will lift that ban too]  | |
