Southwest Airlines now seems to be offering passengers the ability to send and receive iMessages from their iOS devices in-flight for $2 per day. In-flight Wi-Fi access for all applications is available for $8 per device per day. It’s likely that the airline is opening up iMessage related ports to users who pay the $2 while users who pay more receive access to in-flight email, social networks and other apps. For a limited time, all users receive access to 13 live television channels on laptops and iOS devices for free. Southwest Airlines said the following about the offer:
Beginning today, Southwest is enabling iMessage for $2 a day!
Any Apple user that has iOS 5 or later with the iMessage feature pre-loaded on their device can take advantage of this option. Now you can stay powered up and connected to friends and family like you never left the ground.
