Source: Generation NT The airline Emirates announced that it will now be possible to make phone calls (and send SMS's) from your mobile on its planes equipped with a special relay station.
This relay station developed by AeroMobile will be activated during phases of theflight and allow any passenger to make calls and have access to account data.
The crew, however, will keep control of the system and can disable it during night flights, for example.
It is still unclear what price will be charged for communications, but it may be expensive since the calls pass through a communications satellite before reaching the ground.
