50thBdayCruise Posted January 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Does anybody have experience with using Sprint phones in Hawaii? Is there service at all the ports? Can you get cell phone signal on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziehmkr Posted January 12, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2009 We just returned from a land vacation on the Big Island and our service was fine in most areas. We have Sprint/Nextel, but the phones are hybrid phones and use the Sprint towers for normal cell calls when Nextel coverage isn't available.

Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted January 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The America doesn't have a cell tower on the ship so whenever you get signal its from land, and roaming charge free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted January 12, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2009 We had sprint at the time we visited the various ports in Hawaii. The service worked great. Many times we would pick up the service (not the ships service) a few miles off the coast of each Island. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted January 12, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Sprint worked great for me too in all ports of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimgev Posted January 13, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2009 we have verizon, we had great service everywhere on the ship and on land. maybe once or twice did not have call service, but text always worked I have "nationwide" service on Verizon. Do you know if that includes Hawaii or will roaming charges apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstplacechef Posted January 13, 2009 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2009 What about T-Mobile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted January 13, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2009 T-mobile is included also (that's what I have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgev Posted January 14, 2009 #11 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Its included. All the states are included. Thanks. That is good to hear. I was worried that it might only apply to the "continental" US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Paradise Posted January 15, 2009 #12 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have "nationwide" service on Verizon. Do you know if that includes Hawaii or will roaming charges apply? I checked with Verizon and "nationwide" and "cross america" plans do not have any roaming unless you are a mountain area that doesn't have towers. Check out the Hawaiian Islands on the Verizon site.
