Check your voice mail in-flight
You may not be able to use your actual cell phone on a flight (and really, thank goodness for that because no one wants to listen to ten one-sided phone conversations while trapped in a tube 30,000 feet above ground!), but with more airlines using Wi-Fi in the Sky, you’ll be a little less limited in the future.
Not only can you get online with the Wi-Fi service to do things like check your mail, you can also use SpinVox, a mobile voice-to-text service, to retrieve and reply to your voice mail. How does it work?
SpinVox retrieves the voice mail and translates it to text, allowing you to essentially read your voice mail message. You can then reply to it in text and SpinVox sends it off.
While it could be useful for any average traveler, I can definitely see how a business traveler could make a lot of great use with a service like this!
