Virgin Blue’s V Australia airline will offer mobile calling, texting with factory-installed system


Boeing installed the Panasonic/Aeromobile system offered under the Panasonic brand eXPhone. All 777-300ERs in the long-haul fleet will feature the option. Meaning you’ll be able to send and receive text messages on your own mobile phone and use mobile data-enabled PDA devices (such as BlackBerrys and Palm Treos) just as you would on the ground.

The Panasonic eXPhone system incorporating AeroMobile connectivity technology operates without any disruption or disturbance the aircraft systems or ground communication networks. All you need to send and receive text messages is a global roaming activated GSM mobile phone, and for email, a mobile data-enabled PDA device or laptop. It’s that easy.


Cheers
