Apparently people sent SMS in the middle of Atlantic just before the plane disappeared.
Quote:
Passengers on board the missing flight reportedly sent their family members text messages just before the plane disappeared from radar screens in Brazil.
Portugese daily newspaper Jornal de Noticias reported several passengers sent messages from their mobile phones saying "I love you" or "I'm afraid".

Obviously there is no way one can get mobile reception in the middle of the ocean but are the inflight phones capable of sending SMS?
