Idk if it works with more modern bands, but back in the GSM days I used to make calls in out-of-service areas when jets flew overhead.

Has it always been set to that?

I’m pretty sure that I have connected line of sight to cell sites at much longer ranges than that.

Or maybe I’m remembering an old pre-gsm TDMA phone?
