It's because

1) *y o u a r e u n d e r g r o u n d* and there are usually at least a
few yards of earth between you and the mast, also

2) People don't want to hear you shouting, "I AM ON THE TRAIN" over the
racket of a tube train so no-one is going to go to the expense of enabling
it.


I never cease to be amazed at the number of phones users who shout down
their mobiles "Hello, hello! Can't you hear me?" as the Piccadilly plunges
down to the depths after Baron's Court. I guess they never studied
physics.

well, in italy we got mobile phone working even inside galleries or tunnels
and it's worthy in case of help assistance. It's not only because of having
a talk but a question of safety also for oneself as a plus.

I guess it would be useful even working inside the underwear.. lol
