I wouldn't dream of calling in-flight. However, they block Youtube on the same ports as well (half the time, inconsistent settings between equipment).
You remind me of a tpac flight I took out of Beijing about 10 years ago. I had a GPS unit on me and the guy sitting next to me asked me what it was. The plane was just leaving the terminal and getting in line for take-off. I explained to him what it was, but either the guy didn't believe me or thought something was wrong because he called the flight attendant and complain. She kindly asked me to put it away. Since I was still in China, I decided it wasn't worth putting up a fight.
