Connectivity...Coming Soon

Staying connected in the air is about to become V easy!

Coming Soon: Your world won’t have to grind to a halt just because you’re in the air – unless you want it to!

As a V Australia Guest, staying in touch with colleagues, friends and family all throughout your journey will be V Easy.

We’ve partnered up with Panasonic and AeroMobile to bring you revolutionary connectivity across our network*, so soon you’ll be able to send and receive text messages on your own mobile or smart phone (such BlackBerrys and iPhones) just as you would on the ground.

Our Panasonic eXPhone system incorporating AeroMobile connectivity technology operates without any disruption or disturbance of our 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.

We will be very proud to be one the very first airlines in the world to offer this revolutionary technology to our Guests right across our entire brand-new, Boeing 777-300ER aircraft fleet!

I wonder what their pricing will be like in regards to traditional roaming prices for SMS.
 
Nobody has had their world come to a halt for the last 50 years of getting on planes.
