Designed for commercial aviation, Gogo Text allows you text on any Gogo equipped flight as long as you have one of the following wireless carriers:
AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, Cricket, & US Cellular
With Gogo Text, you can:
- Send and receive SMS texts with your phone number
- Access all your contacts
- All quickly and easily across 2,250+ Gogo equipped aircraft
You’ll need to register your phone on the ground to get started. Once you’re in the air, you can purchase a Gogo Text pass through the app and start texting from the sky – just like you do on the ground.
Gogo Text enables you to send and receive SMS text messages with your actual phone number while inflight, even though your cellular radio is turned off. All SMS text messages sent and received inflight are passed through your home carrier. Your wireless agreement and SMS plan dictate whether or not you receive additional charges from sending SMS texts through a roaming carrier in the US. If you have an unlimited SMS plan and nationwide roaming, you won’t receive any additional charges from your wireless carrier. If you aren’t sure whether your cellular plan has nationwide coverage or nationwide roaming, please check with your wireless carrier to find out what additional charges you might receive by using our app.
