Re: Half-truths about airline wifi on T-Mobile website

The only flights from American that usually don't have WiFi, is when I am flying into very small regional airports, like Roanoke or NewPort News. Those smaller planes do not have WiFi but those flights are also usually less than a half hour from takeoff to landing. Both of our domestic flights had Wifi. I could access aainflight.com, but no T-Mobile link for free wifi. Both airplanes used Panasonic.150Views0likes0CommentsRe: Half-truths about airline wifi on T-Mobile website

In the last two weeks we were 0 for 2on domestic flights (IND-ORD, PHL-IND) w/ American. American uses Panasonic (see T-Mobile claim below). As I explained in the first post, American told me that Panasonic is NOT partnered with T-Mobile in three separate emails. “As part of In-Flight Connection, eligible customers get free connectivity with streaming, where available, all flight long on nearly 100% of domestic flights on partner airlines: Alaska, American, Delta and United. We partner with Intelsat, Viasat, Thales and Panasonic to give free in-flightWi-Fion Alaska Airlines, United Airlines, American Airlines, and select Delta Air Lines flights.T-Mobileis also a proud partner of Delta, giving SkyMiles Members fast, free in-flightWi-Fion Delta andon uson most Viasat flights within the U.S.”72Views0likes0CommentsRe: Half-truths about airline wifi on T-Mobile website

According to T-Mobile’s website: “We partner with Intelsat, Viasat, Thales and Panasonic to give free in-flight Wi-Fi on Alaska Airlines, United Airlines, American Airlines, and select Delta Air Lines flights.” The thing is that these are at most half-truths. We have flown on 7 flights recently, 4 domestic and 3 int’l. Most recently, we flew 5 flights, all on American. All flights had wifi - NONE had the T-Mobile listed. Why? Because they all use Panasonic Avionics for wifi. So I asked American why they didn’t offer the T-Mobile promotion. This was their response: “Thank you for contacting Panasonic Avionics in regards to your in-flight Wi-Fi experience on board your recent American Airlines flight. T-Mobile has partnered with Gogo to provide free Wi-Fi and texting in-flight.Unfortunately, this is not an available offering on board Panasonic's equipped aircraft at this time.” Somebody is lying.6.8KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Dropped calls in my house
Add me to the list of people whose wifi calling drops. I am forced to use wifi because, despite your claims, the cell signal does not cover my property. New phone (Oneplus 7T), all updates (10.0.16), gigabit fiber, FIVE access points. This usually, but not always, happens when I am moving. This tells me that your wifi calling is anything but the state of the art. Other than moving to a different carrier, what can I do to make calls with my cell phone in my own home?30Views1like0Comments
