Can I See If Someone Called Me on Airplane Mode?

The answer, unfortunately, is typically no. Airplane mode, designed to conserve battery life and avoid cellular interference, effectively isolates your phone from the network. Any calls made to your number while your phone is in this mode will not be registered by the device. There’s no record of the attempted call stored on your phone, meaning no missed call notification will appear once you turn airplane mode off.

This lack of record-keeping applies to both incoming and outgoing calls. The phone’s system, effectively disconnected from the network during airplane mode, doesn’t log these interactions. Therefore, checking your call log, voicemail, or any other phone app won’t reveal these calls.

While there are rare exceptions (some carriers may have limited call forwarding features), the general principle holds true: calls made to a phone in airplane mode are invisible to the phone itself. Knowing this, travelers and those in situations requiring limited network access should be aware that some attempts to reach them may be unsuccessful and will not be reflected on their phone once network connectivity is restored.
