Ryanair to allow in-flight mobile calls
Ryanair recently announced that they are fitting 14 of their 166 aircraft with mini cellphone masts.
The technology comes from On Air and tells each mobile to transmit at minimum power, to minimise any possible interference with the quite important in-flight electronics! Up to six passengers at a time will be able to use the system – any more presumably cause too much interference?
When the service starts only O2 & 3 networks will be compatible and the cost of calling will be a whopping £2 per minute or 40p for a text!
I’m so glad I don’t fly Ryanair.
