Mexico OKs phones on planes

Following a meeting last August by the National Advisory Committee for the Standardization of Air Transport, Mexico’s Ministry of Communications and Transport overturned a law from 2001 that banned mobile phones from being used on aircraft. The new regulation still forbids phone use on planes that have not been fitted with specific equipment.

Now, we’re wondering whether any of you guys and/or gals have actually tried to use his or her phone on a flight to or from Mexico. How was it?

For the record, several airlines, mainly in Europe have already tested in-flight mobile phone systems, and are looking to start offering the service on a commercial basis.
