Quick questions, honway. What was the length of time of her recorded cell phone call to her husband? During that period of time, approximately how many miles would Flight 93 have traveled?
I think the answers to those further backs up your judgment that her use of the cell phone was impossible - in the aircraft anyway.

CeeCee's call was 41 seconds.
I will try to find out the speed from the FDR data. My rough estimate is that she traveled about 3.8 miles.
As far as Tom Burnett's calls, according to the government there were three:
Comparing the reported times to the government released FDR data,we have:
9:30 .......28 seconds.......35,000 feet
9:37........62 seconds.......39,000 feet
9:44........54 seconds.......24,000 feet.
I will search for the FDR data concerning the speed, but at 35,000 feet and 39,000 feet, a normal range for ground speed would be in the range of 400 to 480 mph,depending on the winds.
An interesting thing from CeeCee's call is prior to and during the call the aircraft descended from 40,000 feet to 20,000 feet in about 7 minutes,according to the FDR data. That descent rate is more than is normally used. The reason I mention that is there is no way a flight attendant would not recognize the plane was in a descent and to flight attendants, a descent like that would mean they were about to land and the flight was about to be over. She did not mention that in the message and that was very odd,imo.
