Gogo reveals app to allow in-flight calls and texts
At SXSW 2014 they took a few reporters on a private jet flight to demonstrate the application's functionality, sad to say that the reviews weren't stellar. One reporter was quoted commenting that the quality was "garbled" throughout usage, the shining review from their test flight was the lukewarm comment "surprisingly decent". It is still too early to tell how or even if this technology will be phased into airliners but the idea is certainly refreshing.

blog-CP I just use Skype and iMessage while on planes with the onboard wifi.
Does it work fine, I never went on a trip or anything.
Personally, I have never had any issues.

If the quality is terrible, like it says in the post, they need to start working on improving the quality of calls.

RGHSigned There's a reason why you can't call or text when you're in an airplane. Putting peoples lives at risk is not worth it. No wonder it didn't get stellar reviews.
They wouldn't have used a normal frequency that would interfere with the airplanes equipment. Hence why this is a new technology and has actually been allowed on a curtain private flight.
