MaeBec50 Posted April 20, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if cell phones work on the cruise. I have a global plan and want to talk to my elderly parents every few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexkrn46 Posted April 20, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Unless you have satellite phone you will be using cellular at Sea which is last I heard $3.99 a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiw0318 Posted April 20, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Check with your carrier to see if you have service and what they charge. Mine does access Cellular at Sea for about $2.99 per minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey's Gal Posted April 20, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2008 We used Cellular at Sea and it was 2.69/min. We did get service quite frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinisforme Posted April 20, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I just had this discussion with someone about to take a transatlantic. It may work part of the way but once you get to europe you need to check with your carrier. I had verizon and my phone will not work at all in europe. If you want there are phone rental services where you can rent a phone, but I went on ebay and bought an unlocked quad band phone and a sim card so I will have a phone to use while I am there, only cost me $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted April 21, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if cell phones work on the cruise. I have a global plan and want to talk to my elderly parents every few days. Celiular at Sea is the Company that provide Cell Phone service on most ships. Here is their web site : http://www.cellularatsea.com/ They provide links to all Carriers that will provide you with the cost, and details. Verizon Wireless and AT&T will show a rate of 2.49/Min, and TMobile was at $4.99/min. Radio ;) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findutah Posted April 21, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I have sprint with the unlimited roaming plan and I used it on Liberty of the seas with no additional charges on my bill, i used it sparingly just in case but while i was onboard it just treated it like a normal roaming call. Works great on all the ships that have the service available, you can check sprint.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
