Number34 Posted January 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2020 We are on a 7 day cruise in April, port intensive - Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Messina, Valletta and Barcelona with only one sea day. I have unlimited data roaming on my phone and wondering whether the connection will be good enough whilst in port to use it instead of paying for internet access on the ship. I like to use it as a hotspot for my iPad to check email, download newspaper etc. Advice welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed goes to 2g but we can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkgourmet Posted January 18, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Why so many on T-mobile? Because they have GREAT plan for 55+ who only need 2 lines. And AFAIK, that free world wide data coverage is unsurpassed by other companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number34 Posted January 18, 2020 Author #7 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Thanks for the replies. As to Brexit(*#*#*) I think roaming will still be allowed. As to T-Mobile I’m on 3 and it has a good selection of countries, 71, that are included so I will be fine in the Western Med. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
