Android phones respond to ping when in airplane mode.
I have a speech bot that pings my phone (find IP by ARP) and it speaks randomly on successful ping.
Sometimes, at night, I put my phone in airplane mode, and sometimes my bot still speaks.

- Johnny555 9y agoAirlines are pushing people to use Wifi on planes by installing Wifi based entertainment systems that display content on user devices (the airlines like it because they save weight and money by not needing seat-back displays).

- gcb0 9y agoBecause air travel companies are now selling in-flight wifi. How will they sell it if airplane mode doesn't allow wifi? Android since 4.0 and IOS since 6 allow for this. Just enable wifi after airplane mode.
