With the limitless messaging service being complimentary to all Miles&Smiles member passengers, non-members will also be able to benefit from this service upon filling out the Miles&Smiles membership form available before or during the flight.

Aiming to provide its passengers with privileges beyond their expectations at every stage of their journey, Turkish Airlines will first launch this service on its aircraft with internet access by Turk Telekom, and then gradually on all aircraft with internet connection.
In recent years, many airlines have started to offer free messaging services to their passengers as a way to enhance the in-flight experience. This has become especially important with the rise of social media and messaging apps as primary means of communication.
Some airlines, such as Delta Air Lines and American Airlines, offer free messaging through their in-flight entertainment systems, while others like Southwest Airlines and Alaska Airlines offer free messaging through popular messaging apps like iMessage and WhatsApp.
The availability of free messaging services can vary depending on the airline and the flight route. Some airlines only offer messaging services on select flights or for a limited time, while others offer the service on all their flights with internet access.
Overall, the trend towards offering free messaging services is a positive development for the airline industry, as it allows passengers to stay connected with loved ones and colleagues even while flying. As more and more airlines adopt this approach, passengers will have more options to choose from and can select the airline that best fits their needs.
