Have you never tried calling someones cell after they misplaced it? You get ringing for a second or two before their phone starts going off. Do you really think the plane was landed somewhere within range of cell towers by people who wouldn't bother to take everyone's phones and shut them off/destroy them?
To verify that, I just tried to call my personal cell phone (which is off) from my work cell phone. I'll get ringing despite the other phone definitely not being connected.

that was my misunderstanding. when they said "hang up" i thought that meant someone actually picked up the call and then disconnected, whereas the earlier posts only mentioned the phone was just ringing.
