You should be fine. it's not the FAA your messing with it's the FCC.
It's the fact you come into and out of so many towers when flying they are
involved. your not using their towers - no problem.

I asked about the problem with the music player and the aeroplane.
Now if I put in a non-connecting simcard - a contractual one where the
contract is terminated so it makes no connection.
Is it the "attempt to connect" and fail that would be a problem for aircraft
electronics or the "connection itself".
Thanks for any opinion.

yes because the transmitter side of the phone will still be active and would
remain active while the phone was powered

indeed, even though the network wouldn't accept the SIM, the phone would
still be trying to log on, hence transmitting.

indeed. If it's that simple why can't it be done? perhaps the same reason
you can't send stuff by IR on a series 40 phone. it's useful, and useful
means bad in the nokia dictionary.
