Cellular connectivity isn’t even necessary these days with Wi-Fi calling. Planes are already equipped with access points. The only improvement I can think of is to have some means to tell the phone “you’re on a plane” so it doesn’t keep trying to find a base station to roam to. Since there’s only so many gateways for aircraft traffic, it’s possible the core could recognize it and inform the phone accordingly.
- Arrath 5y agoCan't you effectively do this by turning the phone to airplane mode then enabling wifi again? Or will calls automatically fail on airplane mode regardless of wifi calling being setup? I've honestly never tried.
- jaywalk 5y agoAt least with Verizon Wi-Fi Calling on Delta via GoGo, your phone will ring but if you answer the call it won't actually connect. They're doing something to block it.
