I wanted to listen to a phone call while I was in the air. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but worth a shot!

I tried Skype, but it dropped the call after just a few tries due to a poor network connection  While the JetBlue wifi isn’t weak (you can watch video on Amazon Prime), you arent supposed to be doing phone calls  so maybe they block it.

My second attempt worked.  I used wifi calling on my iPhone. It is off by default.  What I did:

• turn on airplane mode (did before plane)
• connect to jetblue wifi
• go to flyfi.com in a browser and accept terms on service
• go back to settings.  Go to the cellular section (you can leave cellular off to do this)
• go to wifi calling and turn on
• accept the two prompts

That’s it.  I was able to make a call from my phone.  After the call, I turned off wifi calling since im not familiar with the impact.  And it isnt as if I am running out of minutes!

Nite that you arent supposed to make phonecalls in the air lest it annoy your neighbors.  However, listening to a call is like listening to a podcast.  I’m on mute the whole time  and my headset doesnthsve a mic anyway.
