They've had it with no motherf*cking signal on the motherf*cking planes.
In-flight mobile communications firm AeroMobile has found that 70 per cent British travellers would gladly use their phones while flying at 30,000 ft if it was permitted, but access to data services is still forbidden on most airlines.
Around half would use their devices to send texts, while 44 per cent cited the use of apps including Facebook and Twitter, presumably to brag about the sunnier climes they're jetting off to.
Meanwhile, a third of travellers would use surf the web and a quarter would play games. It's important to note that just 19 per cent would feel the need to make a call, which is ironic considering the original purpose of a phone, while 'the majority' expect in-flight mobile access to become the standard in the next few years.
Kevin Rogers, head of revenue development at AeroMobile, said: "These findings certainly echo our experiences at AeroMobile. We know there is demand from consumers; traffic on our network in January outstripped the total traffic for the last six months of 2012, and we expect it to keep growing.
"Last year 5.5 million devices connected to the AeroMobile network, and this year we’re doubling the number of airlines we’re working with to offer even more passengers the option of using their mobile phones inflight."
AeroMobile is responsible for providing a safe mobile network to passengers while airborne, and counts Emirates and Virgin Atlantic among its partners.
