Allowing people who fly access to talk on their cell phones will increase their monthly usage without increasing revenue at all.

While, as others noted, the text and mail servers are still highly profitable on a smaller usage basis.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13672358 Thu, 16 Jun 2005 13:05:11 EDT Re: True. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13672128 russotto : Not many cells in the northern pacific or over Siberia, so I don't imagine the cell phones would have worked most of the flight.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13672128 Thu, 16 Jun 2005 12:31:43 EDT Re: True. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13671939 stet : That's what I'm thinking too. They are just using the general public's annoyance at cell phone use in confined spaces as a convenient marketing tool to promote their text messaging service, at 10 cents per message sent or received.

There didn't seem to be to many issues of loud cell phone talkers. On the other hand the flight was 12 hours non stop so all were dredged out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13671830 Thu, 16 Jun 2005 11:48:40 EDT Re: True. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13671798 Goldman :

It would be annoying as hell to have almost every single person on flight talking on their cell phone for no reason because they are idiots and need something to do...it would be the worste flight ever.
I agree. Flights are cramped and miserable enough without having to hear the loud, obnoxious conversations of others for hours on end. I say keep the ban.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13671798 Thu, 16 Jun 2005 11:43:56 EDT Re: True. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13671790 wirelesswoes : They just want to make some cash. Most people (that I know) don't have Cingular's multimedia package and therefore have to pay for every txt sent and received.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13671790 Thu, 16 Jun 2005 11:42:26 EDT True. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13671773 lxAstrosxl : It would be annoying as hell to have almost every single person on flight talking on their cell phone for no reason because they are idiots and need something to do...it would be the worste flight ever. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13671773 Thu, 16 Jun 2005 11:40:48 EDT
