Mobile Phones can now be used in Airplanes - Globe Telecom International Roaming
A few years back, I was on a trip going to Australia. Normally, I turn my phone on when the plane halts. That time, I didn't do so because when I checked my phone, it was on! Yes, it was on the entire flight.
Since that time, I wondered, so, if mobile phones aren't affecting planes, I wonder why they want it turned off?
A few hours ago, I received this SMS message from globe.
From Globe:
Introducing Airline Roaming, another 1st from Globe's worldwidest services! You may now use your mobile phone to call and text while on board selected aircrafts from 2 major int'l airlines. More airlines will be available soon! For free details, text AIRLINE to 2222.
Out of curiosity, I replied to that message. This was the reply.
Globe's Airline Roaming is now available in Air France and Emirates' select flights. Globe postpaid subscribers can now use their voice and text servies while on board a plane. The flight attendant will announce if the aircraft offers airline roaming. More airlines will be available soon!
Interesting? Yes! It means that, you can now surf the net while travelling in a plane. Talk about technology improvements.
This sure is one new technology to hit the Philippines. I hope Philippine Airlines / Cebu Pacific will offer such in the near future.
