I tirelessly spent hours hunting down a screencap of the frozen WPIX image as described in the article. Unfortunately, I have no clue about the copyright status of such an image and I am inexperienced in such matters. I'm hoping a more experienced user will see this post and can help out in this area. I hope it is possible to keep this image since it was so hard to track it down in the first place. Thanks. - XDB 22:44, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
A belated kudo to XDB for tracking down the image. I was watching the broadcasts here in Calgary back in 2001 and that frozen image from WPIX remains one of my more vivid memories of the day. 23skidoo 04:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Try it sometime.
I heard that it doesen't work unless the palne and phone have some sort of system. Dudtz 7/29/06 5:06 PM EST
Ive used my cell phone while on an airplane before, the only real danger is being caught by a flight attendant.
--- Cell phones do not work reliably over 10000 feet due to the cell phone antenna beam-tilting which the transmission towers signals are aimed towards the earth and not the sky. —Preceding

Image:Wpix-911.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It would be nice if there were information added about the role of BlackBerrys during the attacks, and/or how the attacks played a role in the increased popularity of them. When other systems failed, BIS/BES was the only means of communicating for many.
There's an article already listed in the external links that should provide a good start. Also, Losing the Signal, a book on the rise and fall of RIM, contains some interesting relevant tidbits worth including. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.161.143.149 ( talk) 06:14, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
" In the event an individual needs to chime in, he simply waits his turn – just as he would do in a trunked system. "
How would this be like a trunked system? In a trunked system, you wouldn't need to wait, you just key up and it finds an idle channel for you to talk on. Thornfield Hall ( talk) 04:07, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
