Re: AAAAAAHHH! "you know what its all about. people aren't going to spend $5/minute on the airfones if they can bring a magicjack on board, thats the REAL reason voip is blocked."
Airphone is dead and the handsets, if not removed have been deactivated on most planes. Obsolete technology.
Interesting in how people resent cell phones on planes when Airphones have been there for years. Of course, civility of the world has taken a downward plunge in the interim. |

Lake Zurich, IL | Part of the $5/minute cost was making sure that people wouldn't sit and gab for hours on end. With unlimited free VOIP (or cell phone rates) it becomes a free for all. |

It even dropped once and they redialed and continued. Nothing critical in the conversation, just life in general. I plugged in my CD player and tuned them out. |
