jameslee Posted September 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Currently on ship but first time on cruise ship where I am not able to get Wi-Fi calling to work. I am using visible and other are using T-Mobile but both don’t seem to work . Would appreciate if anyone got tips to get it working or if it just don’t work. I got the premium Wi-Fi internet pkg Edited September 2, 2023 by jameslee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare maxandmolly Posted September 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Wi-Fi calling is blocked on Carnival’s ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted September 2, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Wifi calling never works for me on other carnival ships and other cruise line 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted September 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Use WhatsApp to call your friends from the ship. WhatsApp uses a different protocol than wifi calling and is less likely to be blocked. Edited September 2, 2023 by klfrodo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted September 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I would try using a VPN to get around the port blockage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They block some of the common ports used by some VPNs. Change the VPN protocol and you change the ports your VPN uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol louise Posted September 3, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Very “old-school” but ship to shore service is still available via your stateroom telephone. There’s a per-minute charge billed to your on-board account, but for an important work call, maybe this would be a solution. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywalkr2 Posted September 5, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I thought I was the only one that never could get wifi calling to work. Glad I am not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted September 7, 2023 #12 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I can't think of any logical reason to block wifi calling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be doing that again.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
