These comments are weird. Your phones don't get signal at cruising altitude anyway, only at takeoff and landing when you are close enough to the towers.

Another person mentioned a 5G picocell. They're things you can buy when you have poor cell service, but good internet.

Mind you, most new phones already have WiFi calling, so nothing really is changing for many people.

Phones can get signal if your provider has options or tie ups with the in flight network. Any flight of emirates, Etihad or saudia if you have and Middle Easters sim or Asian one it shows 4g network on normal phone. Coz well it’s always been a thing. Charges are outrageous for roaming though.
