I can never understand why some let you and others don't, them that don't say it interferes with the electrical system on the plane, yet it's Ok with another airline

Singapore airlines let you use a laptop and you can connect your mobile to it and surf the net at 38,000 feet

All down to onboard software I think

Developed by inflight communications specialist OnAir, Mobile OnAir uses advanced lightweight onboard technology to allow passengers to make and receive calls, exchange SMS messages and connect to e-mail via satellite broadband links and a ground network to be supplied by OnAir’s telecoms infrastructure partner, Monaco Telecom.

A sad day!!

OK, thought you were trying to point out that you had to go through their "onboard software"

banjoman · 24-09-2008, 18:22

Wonder if themobile operators will introduce a special "air tariff" at £5 a minute or something

cashman · 24-09-2008, 19:46

they should charge these selfish obnoxious travellers £50 per min.

at least you won't have to listen to teh constant adverts for their seriously overpriced drinks, food, perfume, scratchcards, teddy bears etc!

There is no real reason why they should interfere, all good electronics would be screened anyway. whether you get a lock on a base station at 38K feet over teh atlantic......

The trouble is you will,it's an add on not an instead of.
I can see people screaming down the phone every time the plane hits a bit of turbulence.

i cant wait until it comes on the news that a plane crashed because somone got air rage and threw the phone out of the window

mind you it would eliminate the need for theblack box as in true fashion everyone would be recording their crash on their phones and if they act fast enough could actualy get teh crash on utube before the news
