schultz572 Posted December 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I am leaving next week to go on the freedom of the seas, I have an Iphone 5 on att and was just wondering how I know if my phone is using international towers. I don't want to get charged anything extra, I remember last year I had data service and phone service multiple times and never got charged extra but I can't remember how I knew I could use my phone. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daghis Posted December 19, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 19, 2012 You should be able to look at the top-left corner of your iPhone and see whether it says AT&T (your normal domestic service) or Cellular@Sea (international roaming on the ship) or some other carrier you don't recognize (if you're on one of the islands).

schultz572 Posted December 19, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Make sure data roaming is off. Got that done, thanks. I was looking at past pictures and it saved pictures locations so I must of had data on in some places. I remember looking stuff up too and no extra charge. IDK remember how I knew though. I also recall seeing different names where att is but no charges, the only place we had service was i think in st thomas and san juan though.

Picture locations might come from the GPS integrated in the phone. No data needed for the GPS to supply latitude and longitude. St. Thomas and San Juan are charged the same as mainland US for AT&T plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For AT&T, all the US Virgin Islands are billed the same as mainland US. These are St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
