Call from Virgin Atlantic flights
VSVirgin Atlantic features gate-to-gate satellite connectivity across its A350 and 787 fleets. Whether voice calls are allowed on board is up to the airline's own Wi-Fi rules, so check them first, or call before you board or after you land. Stay in touch with clients and family across the Atlantic.
Avoid seat phone & AeroMobile traps
Seat-back phones charge high per-minute rates. If your phone joins an onboard mobile network, your carrier bills the calls as roaming, usually at high rates. Keep Airplane Mode on and call over the Wi-Fi instead.
