so there Posted October 21, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I'm very tech-challenged, so this could be a stupid question, but if you take your Blackberry with you, can you access e-mail wherever there's a signal? Do you have to pay internet charges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jontalley Posted October 21, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I took my Blackberry on a recent Med. cruise. I had to call my cell phone server before leaving and sign up for international service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you able to access your email without paying shipboard internet charges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jontalley Posted October 21, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Actually I didn't try email. I only used text messaging. No internet charge. Call your server, they can tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenandgene Posted October 21, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2006 We have been on the Island Princess' RT Hawaii from Los Angeles. My husband uses a Blackberry. You will NOT be able to connect your Blackberry to the SHIP's internet service. However, it will work in any port where your carrier has both telecom and data service. Not all carriers provide data service. If this helps, my husband's service provider is T-Mobile and we had both voice/data service in all ports in Hawaii. Have a great trip!

SoFloDeb Posted October 21, 2006 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Just got back from Caribbean today and when we were in US ports we had cell service and hubby got his e-mail without any issues. You should be just fine since you'll be in US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
