EE Customers Can Now Call, Text & Tweet Inflight

EE’s 26 million customers across the UK now have the option to use their own mobile phones inflight, thanks to AeroMobile.

Passengers using all of the UK’s major mobile phone networks can now talk, text or browse online at 30,000ft, simply by connecting to the AeroMobile network.

AeroMobile has over 220 agreements with mobile phone operators around the world including O2, Three, Vodafone and now also EE in the UK.

So far this year, more than 120,000 UK-based passengers have used the service to stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues on the ground, sending 175,000 text messages and making 25,000 calls.

The service is active on 150 aircraft across nine airlines including Emirates, Etihad, SAS and Virgin Atlantic. All Virgin Atlantic flights between the US and London Gatwick offer the AeroMobile service, as well as selected flights from Manchester and Heathrow. Many flights from the UK to Dubai with Emirates and Etihad’s services from Heathrow to Abu Dhabi also provide  connectivity.

Passengers who use the service are billed by their mobile phone operator, and prices vary depending on individual contracts. Prices are typically similar to ‘rest of world’ rates, or in some cases, lower.
