Verizon Wireless' Airfone Service to Allow Airplane Redirects

The Boston Globe Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News

Mar. 1 - Verizon Wireless is activating a service today that will let its 38 million subscribers redirect their incoming cellphone calls to seat-back phones on airplanes with Verizon Airfone service, at a deep discount to normal Airfone rates.

I saw this article this morning. It's probably a smart idea as it may induce some to switch their mobile phone service to Verizon. Personally, I'm a little disappointed. When the aircraft doors close, I get to be out of touch for a couple of hours and that's not always a bad thing.

Watch how fast air rage reemerges when they allow the use of cell phones and the redirect. I am sick and tired to listening to some yahoo gabber on his or her cell phone before the main door is closed. They always talk louder than normal and I don't want to hear about their business dealings.

No one is that important that they can't wait until they get off a plane to make a call. Whoever decided that the usage of cell phones on planes will be OK in a few years needs to have their head examined.

:down: :angry:
