Europe will soon allow phone calls on flights. Will the U.S. be next?
You can soon say goodbye to airplane mode — at least in Europe. The European Commission ruled late last month to permit airlines to provide 5G connectivity to passengers on board, including for phone calls and high-speed data. E.U. member states have until the end of June 2023 to set aside 5G frequency bands for planes. (www.washingtonpost.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I bet it doesn't last long...
You’re better off driving if the flight is less than 350 miles. Peaceful, and arrive at the same time…with a car no less.
It will be just like the ‘60’s again! How many kids can you cram into a phone booth!
I’ve been in one flight with cell service. Why don’t more have it.
People are pigs. If you need any more proof, watch what happens when THIS is approved. I’d rather listen to an imbecile trumpanzee babble incoherently, like what we’re gonna get for the next two years in the House run by gen-yoo-ine trumpanzees. Amazing how much filth is flying now … shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops and body odor. Charming.
Here is a thought.....
If this happens everybody within earshot should start recording the call and the publishing it on social media, with a photo of the phone caller!
If you are going to act like an inconsiderate jerk you should expect being treated like one. I doubt that texting would be an issue though.
Note: I used to take a bus into NYC ( about a one hour commute) and talking on the phone was a total no no, especially in the morning. Nobody wanted to hear somebody yapping on a phone at 6:00 am.
