Phone works, too.

Not into a cargo hold it doesn't.

Mil Handbook 419A covers grounding , bonding , and shielding pretty
well. Read the chapter on screen rooms before making statements that
cell phones will not work in a cargo hole. To keep out rf signals
takes a lot of work.

Yep, and that has pretty much been accomplished in the cargo hold. Because,
they bond all the metal together in an aircraft to avoid picking up static
charges. most is automatic in construction but where you have something like
a gasketed door or shock mount....it comes with it's own bonding wire to
insure that it's electrically grounded (ie bonded) to the rest of the
aircraft.

So, like I said, good luck getting a cell signal into the cargo hold once
all the access doors are secured.
