Here’s another reason to use your wireless phone to avoid outrageous bills when using the phone in a hotel room. As we predicted, another airline has joined United in offering a wide-range of wireless options to earn miles. Most of the major carriers are tied into one wireless company, but through a partnership with InPhonic, Inc. Delta SkyMiles members have more wireless options to earn miles.

The SkyMiles Wireless program offers members miles when purchasing wireless phone plans and accessories online. Members can choose from a variety of calling plans and wireless devices including popular telephones, PDAs, smartphones and wireless air cards. They will also earn miles when purchasing Bluetooth headsets, car chargers, batteries and more. Earn 5,000 miles when activating a new wireless plan with any of the nation’s top carriers, when renewing a current wireless contract or when activating a Satellite TV service. Earn 10 miles for every $1 spent on wireless accessories. Members must purchase through the skymileswireless.com Web site to earn miles. There is no limit to the number of miles members can earn with this promotion.
