Ryanair has announced that passengers can now use their mobile phones to make phone calls during their flight. 20 planes are now equipped to allow the service and Ryanair plans to fit out all 180 air crafts in the next 18 months. Reactions to the announcement have been mixed but polls suggest passengers are against the idea, and it is not suprising when calls could cost between £1.50 and £3.00 per minute! Some passengers are fearful that voice calls sould become irritating to others within close proximity and cause tempers to rise within the cabin. But on the other hand is it any different to making voice calls from a train, bus or any other method of transport?

I think that most users of this service would use it for outgoing text ,messages and possibly for taking emergency calls. Anyone with enough money to waste to make a call to say “I’m on the plane” would be extremely annoying. I expect air rage to increase.
