You may. The FAA lifted the ban, but it's still up to each airline
whether or not they will go along with it. They are actually
considering allowing data/SMS cellular communications while in flight,
but the way I understand it, that would wreak havoc on the cell system
considering that your connection would be handed off from tower to tower
while you're flying at something like 600MPH.
