cruisinjune Posted March 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Does anyone know how well cell phones work while out at sea? I want my kids to have the ability to text should they have a problem. I know the cost is $.50 per outgoing message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diva girl Posted March 31, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Should be fine, I got a text a couple years ago while crusing the meditteranean the cost was reasonable but we didn't text except a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the cost is $.50 per outgoing message. I found texts didn't work to well, both sending and receiving in the Caribbean last September. Normally had to wait till in port.

cruisinjune Posted April 1, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Bummer. I know walkie talkies aren't the best and I heard about phones you can rent but also heard they probably weren't available. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewzer33 Posted April 1, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2011 We used our Verizon phones for texting and they worked the same as on land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
