Gogo Rolling Out In-Flight Wi-Fi Calls and Texts

Gogo is rolling out a new service which allow passengers to send and receive text messages in real time by using the Gogo Talk & Text iOS or Android app. Gogo's chief marketing officer, Ash ElDifrawi, told The Verge that the service will use a person's own phone number so callers won't be confused.

"Gogo Text & Talk is just one more way Gogo is keeping airline passengers connected to their lives on the ground," said ElDifrawi. "While we see this as more of a text messaging product for commercial airlines in the United States, the phone functionality is something that some international air carriers and our business aviation customers are asking for."

iSleepWell Turns Off iPhone Radios Automatically

If you're looking for more quiet in your life, one place to start might be silencing your iPhone. Thanks to a new tweak, this can be accomplished automatically when the device is in a screen-down position. This is perfect for sleeping, as the tweak works by entering Airplane Mode, which also shuts off all radios on the iPhone.

Not only will this insure peace and quiet, but it will prevent all of those RF signals from being emitted from your iPhone on the nightstand. iSleepWell notifies you that it's about to enter Airplane Mode after the iPhone is turned face down, then vibrates when the setting has been activated. Pick up the iPhone and your connectivity is restored.
