“Everything Everywhere”, the full title of telecoms operator EE, which is still for the most part known from its two merged brands, Orange and T-Mobile, has gone airborne .
EE’s 26m customers across the UK can now use their own mobile phones inflight on a number of major airlines, thanks to a new agreement with service provider AeroMobile.
AeroMobile has over 220 agreements with mobile phone operators around the world including O2, Three, Vodafone and now also EE in the UK.
The AeroMobile service is active on 150 aircraft across nine carriers including Emirates, Etihad, SAS and Virgin Atlantic. All Virgin Atlantic flights between the US and 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 AeroMobile 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. www.aeromobile.net
