Turkish Airlines has introduced its new in-flight mobile connectivity, ‘eXPhone’ for an uninterrupted communication on board.

As an extension of Wi-Fi and live TV availability on its Boeing B777 and Airbus A330 aircrafts, Turkish Airlines would offer mobile internet connectivity by eXPhone to its guests from April 2017.

By using this service, passengers will be able to send text messages (excluding voice messages), check their e-mails and browse the internet with their own mobile phones. Provided that the ‘Data Roaming’ mode is activated on their mobile phones, the eXPhone service will run automatically and can be used till the flight is ready for landing.

The eXPhone service, offered in close cooperation with Panasonic/AeroMobile, has successfully been tested on board during a flight with the participations of relevant authorities, via one of their cabin attendant’s mobile phone.

The eXPhone service will be billed by the passenger’s mobile phone operators and the prices will vary depending on their individual roaming contracts.
