A GPS RECEIVER receives info from a satellite...you dont have a satellite transmitter in your phone.

In other words your phone sees the satellite the satellite doesnt see your phone

You're right... but even in India and China, a GPS receiver will not work if you are sitting inside of a giant metal tube. Even then - whats the point, thats just a phone being able to tell where IT is. Phone GPS goes one way.
 
I've had 2 phones stolen and recovered with gps. While it had no sim card only power.

I gotcha its far fetched but so is the fact that the jet pings location every hour with or with out the systems being turned off in the cab.

GPS tells the phone where it is, then the phone tells the carrier where it is through it's Cellular connection. It can't communicate back to the GPS satellite. No Cellular connection, no outgoing communications.
 
Timeline now appears to be set. The flight path change happened before the sign off, indicating all was well in the cockpit after the change....
 
Just read this whole thread.

I believe this is the start if something bigger to come.

I HOPE it's just a terrible accident and its at the bottom of an abyss somewhere. But still seems like something should have been found by now, or better record indicating a crash.

Either scenario I agree that the government(s) know more than we do and are keeping quiet right now.

We may never know.

This is the most logical explanation I have seen / heard yet.

There is always the possibility of hijack / terrorism. But until someone sees hard evidence........

I saw on the news this morning that the authorities found deleted files on the pilots home simulator. Now all of a sudden they are deleted files he wanted to hide. Do they not realize that people delete files? I delete crap off of my computer all the time, nothing I am hiding just weeding out junk.

This may be the beginning of something big, maybe not. It seems like every other news story. The media is gonna blow it all out of proportion so they have something dramatic to report to get your attention.

For me, for now, it is just a missing plane....

EDIT; Well, not "just missing". There are over 200 families with missing loved ones. My heart goes out to them.

I realized how bad that sounded just as I posted it. I had already edited it by the time I saw your post. Didn't mean to come off as heartless.
 
.... correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that cell phones triangulated off of towers for their GPS location. I know that everytime I have been in an airplane GPS on my phone would not work b/c no service at 35k ft. The only phones that I know that actually connect w satellites are satellite phones.

It depends on the phone. Some have an actual GPS built in, like my Casio Commando. Regardless, that only tells you where you are, it doesn't tell anyone else where you are, and even knowing where you are relative to a satellite is completely useless if you don't have maps downloaded for that area. A satellite phone is totally different, because it allows you to communicate via a satellite instead of a cell tower.
