Not really. There will be moments that you have signal but not reliable. In flight texting works best.

I've never been able to get my iPhone(s) to work in the air.

AirTran has started wireless internet on their flights - here's hoping more companies jump on that bandwagon!

I didn't know you could operate any devise with internet on a plane! Is this new? Cause when ever I fly the flight attendant always says to turn off any device like cell phones, and internet while in flight or use airplane mode.
I'm so excited my cell phone provider in Canada is finally getting the I Phone in a few weeks!! yay! I want one!

airplane mode turns off all wireless communications. not even wifi is available.

technically, the guideline is that all transmitters must be turned off. a radio would be okay because it only receives information. wifi is not because it transmits as well as receives.

but it's entirely up to the airline to enforce.

I always put mine on airplane mode and just listen to my ipod on it. That topic always makes me nervous Anything that might interfere with keeping my butt in the air until I'm am supposed to be back on the ground needs to be off
