MH

RM 15/min for making in-flight calls

RM 100 per MB for data charges

RM 3 per SMS sent

 

AK

RM 11/min for making in-flight calls

RM 25 per MB for data charges

RM 2 per SMS sent

 

How much does it cost to make a call using the in-flight phone?

Compare the data charges/MB for MH and AK. Is it a typo or are they for real?

100 bucks for 1MB GPRS charge? 15 bucks a minit for calls? I think I'll wait until I've landed to call anyone or to check my Facebook!

The SMS charge for MH flight is like 300 times the rate of SMS charge for the same line (I use student plan rate)...although cheaper for AK, it's still 200 times... :blink: :blink:

But I think it'll be pretty cool to send a tweet from FL300. "Sending this tweet 30000 feet above. BTW, this tweet is probably the most expensive tweet ever. RM100/MB." How about that for a tweet? :rolleyes:

My friend made a joke about this one, what if you download very large files (120 MB) from the net? with already so much expensive charge per MB, rather than you foot that expensive bill, you can just buy an expensive car...

hehe, wrong numbers...RM100/MB x 1200MB = RM120,000
