Nokia 3300 on an airplane

The Nokia 3300 music facility presumeably only works with a sim card
inserted and the phone booted up. Is there any trick allowing one to listen
to music (as in an aeroplane) where one can't have the phone switched on.
Thanks

I don't know that phone, but good luck trying to convince the cabin crew
that the phone is safe on board a plane.....

if the 3300 is a series 60 phone, there are several apps that can put the
phone into 'flight mode' which leaves the 'phone' side off, but leaves the
rest running. however, this is a third party access to what should be a
standard feature, something nokia don't seem to care about, so I wouldn't
hold my breath.

then as far as I know there is no way, since you can only add java apps,
which have little or no access to phone operations like S60 apps.

I take it it's not as easy as just removing the SIM card and trying? or does
this only result in the insert SIM message.

It doesn't really matter if the flight crew or cabin crew object, and
knowing a pilot or two I can't imagine them being very happy about anyone so
much as trying to switch on a phone on board an aircraft.

It will be an offense to use a phone in any way on an aircraft, signal
switched on or off.
They can't go around checking everyone's phone is in silent mode.
Use a CD player or cassette - can buy them in Woolworths under £20. The
fine/sentence will be more.

perhaps but the indignity of using such a device isn't worth it :-)

if we are working our way towards convergence, then pretty soon all devices
will be transmitting on some sort of network, from BT to WiFi to cellular.
It's impossible to regulate them all without putting up a blanket ban on
anything electronic.

I'm an avionic technician in the RAF, so I well understand the physics of
the dangers associated. with an armed aircraft, it's a little more
hazardous, the weapons system could easily fire from having such energy
broadcast into it, but it's also a one in a thousand chance. for the most
part on a commercial airliner, there is little more than the same
interference you get on your PC, or stereo or TV. The reason flight mode is
called flight mode is so you can use it in flight. for convergence devices
to be worth anything, then a flight mode has to be guaranteed. While I can
see that the is a small chance of danger, I don't want this fear to prevent
us being able to use such devices. listening to music, or writing a document
while on a plane is not going to make it crash, unless the pilot is trying
to do it during landing. it is no longer a real option to simply turn off a
phone for the duration of a flight, when the phone's are doing much more
than simple 19th century voice calls. IMO we need a switch on the side of
the phone to turn the transmitter off. electrically this is not difficult at
all. the problem then becomes policing such a switch, making sure everyone
has turned off their transmitters, but this is a problem with civilisation
not being very civilised. it's the people who need to be stopped not the
technology. just because joe idiot wants to make a phone call in flight, and
doesn't understand, shouldn't stop a normal person from listening to music
on his (part disabled) multifunction device.

Of course, stewarts can't check all passengers' mobile phones to see whether
they are into flight mode or not. Asking them to switch phones off is
easier. It I ever had to fly, I'd switch my phone off, no matter so far.
People already don't understand why they shouldn't make or receive a call
while driving their cars, aren't you dreaming when assuming most of them
will turn their phones into flight mode ?
