Flying IAH-EWR next Monday and would really like to join a call through Lync. Does that work on United's Wifi? I dont really need to speak a lot, but listening would be goo.

Thanks for any inputs - just wondering if I better re-schedule my flight.
Is that some sort of VOIP service? I sincerely hope that UA will block all such services so that people aren't making inflight cell phone calls. One of the most annoying on-board behaviors I can think of.

Several carriers, including DL, have already announced this will not be allowed.
