CruisinMermaid Posted January 29, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I know I can bring my own laptop and pay to connect to the ship's wi-fi. But does anyone know if the same works with the IPhone? :confused: I'll be on the Navigator in March and was wondering if I could just pay for wi-fi and use my IPhone to connect to the internet without having to pay extra data charges to my carrier.

Citizen Jane Posted February 24, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm trying to figure this out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvi Posted February 24, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I have an Iphone and used it on a Radiance cruise last February. I have to tell you that I only used the wi-fi for the few minutes I got in my C&A coupon book. I was able to check in for a return flight using it. It was SLOW as I recall. You do have to be careful about having the phone on as you can incur charges for the phone portion while on-line if a call comes through. . . I did have it on when we were at our home port and used it for data through the edge network - no problem there. Did NOT use the phone at all on my Freedom cruise in July. Did not have any need. Can't give you much info, so not sure if I've helped you at all . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meansun Posted February 24, 2009 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2009 You can use it yes. The newer ships it works all over such as the Liberty. You will have to manually disconnect the wifi because the iPhone likes it to be on all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanafan Posted February 24, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Unless you are comfortable with the possiblity of coming home to a huge phone bill I would go directly to AT&T and ask them. I will not turn my iPhone on until I am sure we are where I will not be charged any extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
