I really don't think so. Heck, I have trouble getting a signal in some spots along my 12-minute commute from home to work.

Andy--
Yes you can-- i uh- mistakingly left my phone on on teh way to IRI... i had full signal. you are in "direct light of sight" of many (20+) cell towers all at the same time. The signal is great, but i believe some wireless carriers will block off your cell phone if you are connected to too many of their towers (you will overload their system).
Either way, its no the cell phone conversations I am interested in, i really want to be able to surf the web on my cross-country flights... nothing better than loading up a flight tracker online to track the plane you are in
