Singapore airlines announces that it will start equipping its fleet of aircraft, the necessary equipment and technology to allow mobile calling, texting and in-flight Wi-Fi starting in 2011. Even though in-flight calling has been around for a long time, this new partnership between Singapore airlines, OnAir (In-flight Telephone Company) and Inmarsat will allow passengers to make and receive calls, send and receive SMS text directly from their GSM mobile phone. With this new in-flight service, Singapore airlines will also offer in-flight Wi-Fi to other Wi-Fi enable devices. For the current in-flight Wi-Fi service and fee for the U.S. airlines please visit our In-Flight Wi-Fi service guide.

Singapore will begin to add this service to their Airbus A380, Airbus A340-500 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in early 2011. Source from engadget.com.
