Some airlines (e.g. Lufthansa) also install GSM microcells in their planes.

They allow you to completely disable flight mode, once you're at cruising altitude -- and therefore out of range of the terrestrial cell network.

(Whether your cell provider will actually allow your phone to associate with the in-flight microcell is a different issue...)
