Government officials in the UK have signed off on a new plan to allow mobile phone use while on planes, reports Pocket Gamer. Previously, a “flight-safe” mode, support by relatively few phones, was required to use the device while in the air. If the new plan — which still has a few levels of approval to go through — goes active, phones will be allowed to be active as long as the plane is above 3,000 meters, or just shy of 10,000 feet. This includes voice calls (and, presumably, smartphone functions like email), but more importantly will allow you to spend your interminably boring flight time gaming away.
