Why isn't anything happening when I turn Airplane Mode on?

[AC Question]

I turned on airplane mode and nothing happened. help!

I just got this new phone and when I turned on airplane mode nothing happened. I even threw it from the window, it just fell to the ground.

Welcome to the forums. Airplane mode kills all function to your cell radios.
