There have been a lot of efforts on the in-flight connectivity front in recent months, bringing us much closer to ubiquitous connectivity. Another airline has signed on to the effort, this time looking at voice service as the main attraction, with data as a secondary draw. Emirates has configured one of their airplanes to offer in-flight cell phone usage for voice calls and SMS messages. The crew will be able to disable the voice feature for overnight flights or otherwise at their discretion. Emirates plans to expand the service to additional airplanes (it is only on one right now) and also to add data and Blackberry service in the near future. So if you really want that extra level of connectivity, Emirates would appear to be another option.
