Brief Note On Mobile Phone Measurements With Airplane Mode On/Off



This report describes the results of a brief investigation, as to whether enabling airplane mode on a mobile phone disables all cellular transmissions. 

In summary, we found no evidence of cellular transmissions when airplane mode is on. 

The mobile handsets studied were:

 - Pixel 8 (running GrapheneOS/Android 15), 

- iPhone 15 (iOS 17.1.1), 

- Samsung A23 (Android 13), 

- Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 (Android 11)
