In flight Roaming
Grameenphone is the 1st operator in Bangladesh to launch GSM roaming with AeroMobile. AeroMobile AS provides roaming facility onboard aircrafts, providing global coverage. It is a safe, cost effective solution allowing passengers to use their mobile phones and PDA's whilst in flight. As a result of the agreement, Grameenphone subscribers with international roaming facility can avail roaming facility on board the aircraft.
AeroMobile is currently available onboard a number of Emirates aircrafts (B777s, A330s and A340s) as part of the roll out programme which will see their existing fleet fitted with the service by the end of 2009. Among partner airlines only V Australia has all its aircrafts equipped for AeroMobile. Furthermore, Aero Mobile will soon launch its services with Malaysian Airlines, Qantas, Turkish Airlines and Saudi Arabian Airlines.
While the flight frequency for Emirates from Bangladesh is on a daily basis, however, AeroMobile cannot provide specific routes for the Emirates aircraft (fitted with the AeroMobile system) as the aircraft rotational schedules change on a weekly basis. Passengers onboard the aircraft will be made aware that GSM network is available through announcements by the crew. Subscribers onboard the aircraft can use in-flight roaming after the aircraft leaves Bangladesh air space.
No additional subscription is needed. Subscriber can enjoy the service by switching the mobile phone on in-flight to access GSM services. In-flight roaming facility will cater to the communication need of Grameenphone's roaming subscribers.
