Fourteen of Ryanair's 166 airplanes will let passengers place calls and send text messages mid-flight, starting in October, reports Jaunted. The service will cost between $3 and $3.65 a minute for making or receiving calls and about 75 cents per text message, adds TechRadar. The service will roll out fleet-wide on European routes over time.

Bad idea. The last thing I really want to hear is a bunch of silly conversations that shouldn't be had at any time or business conversations. There is no where to run or hide from them. Can you imagine 50 people yelling over one another to have a conversation? Or even that one guy who talks on the cell phone like he's a deaf man and the person he is talking to is also deaf. God help us. Since they'll have the right to talk, what will happen to my right to peace and quiet?
