iMessage and Google Voice on Sky Princess

[killsport]

Wondering if anyone with the WiFi package can talk about recent experiences on Sky Princess in the Caribbean with iMessage/FaceTime and/or Google Voice?

Have you been able to text/picture message with either? How about phone or video call? Thanks!

On the Grand this past September.  I could iMessage/FaceTime and received messages via Google voice.  Also received unwanted phone calls from Google voice account (SPAM).

 

I could also could do WiFi calling.  
 

Airplane mode on anytime we left a port. 
 

Hope this helps.

We use Google voice for calling and texting. It works more reliably than AT&T over wi-fi.

WhatsApp is a possible alternative if you are using Android.

I use iMessage and FaceTime audio/ video with no problem. Also have used WhatsApp.  I haven’t tried Google Voice.

Google voice is a great texting app.  You text for free with wifi to anyone!  Does not need recipient to have app.  You can call “long distance”.and voice mail is is converted to text.
