Glam girl Posted April 24, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I am sailing next week and am wondering if my 3G iPad will work out at sea? I would like to stay in touch with family without paying the ships Internet fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted April 24, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2011 No, u must use the wifi on the ship. Once the ship sails you won't have access to 3G network on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted April 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The 3G iPad will fall back to an "Edge" (slower) network if that's available. However, the cellular service on the ship is considered international, so your existing 3G data plan won't cover it. AT&T does offer international data for the iPad, but it's a very expensive add-on. You're probably better off using the ship's WiFi. That's what I did last year with my iPad. It worked quite well for me. You'll still have to pay, but I think that the cost is more reasonable.
