Great news
I just hope it will be the "europe" zone for us (and not the amazing price of satellite zone). "Do you wondering where i'm calling from ?" However, with the ambiant sound in a 737, if you don't use sms, you should speak loudly, wich can be annoying for others. But is it compatible with new security procedures ? http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/notices.php...e=060822-ASP-EN |

Just reviving this very old thread! It seems Ryanair have actually now (finally) lanched on around 20 aircraft (mainly Dublin based ones!)
Ryanair.com - News : Launch of Europe’s 1st Fleet Wide Inflight Mobile Phone Service Has anyone been on one yet? Any reports as to how it works/network it uses. Surely there will be cheaper ways to use it than the prices mentioned in that article! Incidentally.. http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/roa_xaoa.shtml reports that there aren't that many roaming agreements yet. e.g. For UK, only o2 customers can use the service so far (also mentioned on the Ryanair website). German users only o2 and T-Mobile. For us here in Spain: absolutely none so far... so I will stick with my o2 UK! Not that I think I will ever see reason to use it other than a few SMS's. |

I flew with Ryanair yesterday but no inflight roaming available. It's probably only for planes based in Dublin by now.

One of those services which I would use mostly for incoming texts. They say e-mails are "(€1-€2)" but I wonder what that translates to as a GPRS roaming rate? Could be that smsBug & FishText could still be a bargain.

The FAQ on the OnAir web site states they expect the final cost of a 100kb data session to cost between €1.00 and €1.50. I wonder what the data billing granularity is.

In the last few days OnAir have pulled out of their agreement with Ryanair. The airline is now looking for a new partner for the fleet-wide launch.
News : Ryanair to move to new in-flight communications partner I have to say, on the few occasions I was flying on a compatible aircraft I enjoyed this service while it lasted. At least it was useful for free incoming text-alerts at 40,000 feet! However, perhaps that is precisely the problem. I never saw anybody actually make or take a call! |

Meanwhile Ryanair has found yet another way to, um, take the piss out their passengers. Unfortunately those who, er, don't have a pot to piss in are going to be really uncomfortable. Airline to charge for use of toilets
SIMs: CA Fido/Fongo • AT A1-B.free • Google Fi R.I.P.: UM • UM+ |
