"Smartphones of the missing aboard Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 are
still ringing according to reports

As many as 19 families of missing passengers have claimed to be
connected - and airline says they have rung crew's phones"

These are just people who do not have a clue how phone systems work.
You can take the battery out of your phone and anyone calling it will
still hear it "ring".

That signal is sent to you from your provider, not the phone you are
calling.
If a CELL phone is turned off it will NOT ring. You will get a "phone
out of service" or "customer not available" message. If the phones are
under water or wet they fail and also give an out of service message,

I'm see them going to voice mail immediately if off or out of range. If the
batteries die,, that should end th ringing.
