How to Use a Phone on an Airplane

Using an airplane telephone is as easy as 1-2-3. Simply follow the steps below.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Airline Tickets
• Credit Cards And Loans
• Telephone Calling Cards

1. Pick up the phone and press the button marked "On."

2. Listen for a double-beep, then slide your credit card through the side of the phone.

3. Dial 1, plus the area code and number you are trying to reach.

Tips & Warnings

• You may choose to use a calling card instead of a credit card for in-flight calls. Each in-flight phone service has specific instructions for the use of various cards.
• The instructions above apply to in-flight phones provided by airlines. Wireless phones have not been approved for in-flight use by the FAA or FCC and thus should not be used for in-flight calls.
