Google Voice Onboard

[TonicTraveler]

I know that Oceania is in the process of moving to Starlink.  In the meantime, I'll be on Marina this summer. I'm interested in learning from those who have used Google Voice onboard for making phone calls.  Has that worked well for you?  Thank you.

The elephant in the ...cabin is the fact that satellite uplink costs vary widely by ship's latitude and satellite provider.  When your ship has low-cost uplinks, you should have plenty of bandwidth for most any voice method; if not, buy postcards.

 

When I have enough bandwidth for two-way audio, I find it easiest to just shift my cellphone to "Wi-Fi calling":
