Default Verizon Wireless Offers 10 Cents-A-Minute In-Flight Calls

Verizon Wireless Offers 10 Cents-A-Minute In-Flight Calls

Just goes to show how much of a rip-off the regular rates are ($3.99/call + $3.99/min). Just be prepared for noisy flights.

Hopefully the $10 monthly fee ($5 for first 3 months) will scare people away

Verizon customers who don't want to pay the monthly fee can pay just .69 cents per minute after signing up.

It sounds like they are trying to get a jump on the FCC's proposed allowance of using a Cell on planes, and to get people signed on to this & get them comfortable with it. Very smart, if that's what they are trying to do.

I think they are just trying to save the airfone program...I believe Verizon (landline) owns a pretty big stake in airfone.

This isn't news. This has been the case for two years.

I still don't see anyone using the phone -- ever.
