TringMe breaks In-flight VoIP barrier over Aircell’s Wi-Fi service

Aircell’s in-flight service was launched yesterday. As many noted, VoIP will not be enabled on this service . Well, in traditional sense, VoIP isn’t enabled.

But that doesn’t mean you cannot do VoIP :). All you need to do is use TringMe’s flash-based widgets and flash-based phone. As captured by Andy Abramson, he made a call using TringMe’s flash widget using Phweet. Joanna comments on her blog that:

“It turns out there is a way to crack the VoIP calling restriction in the air. VoIP guru, Andy Abramson of VoIP Watch just had to speak to me on the phone (even though I had just seen him before taking off in San Fran). Since calling over Sightspeed or Skype didn’t work we tried a Flash based solution through Phweet (you use your Twitter account to sign in). Andy sent me an invite to talk and there he was. We had a 5 minute phone convo for free (beat that MagicJack!). He sounded great and there was no choppiness on his end“.

So, unless Aircell blocks TringMe, stay voice connected to the while you are flying in cloud.

It’s tringing high ..literally !!
