(WTVR) – You will soon be able to make phone calls on one airline when you fly.

Virgin Atlantic is installing new technology on planes to make it possible. That technology makes the plane at as if it is a cell phone tower.

That technology will allow passengers to use their phones mid-flight, without interfering with a plane’s electrical equipment.

To pay for the new technology, Virgin Atlantic will have to pay a new cell phone fee of between $3 and $9.
