The game will be televised in the US on one of these channels, Fox Sport 2 or Fox Soccer Plus.
Does Celebrity have either of these channels?

Does anyone know if the AFL Grand Final will be televised by Celebrity in the Mediterranean?

Thanks for that, you have been a great help.

I heard somewhere on the line that the range is about 12 miles out of port, before the SEA Satellite kicks in. True or False?

Wow, that's very handy to know.
Partner towers are OK, but anything outside these attracts charges.
Wow, very interesting. I must tread cautiously.

Thank you for your help Paul, Underwatr and Hlitner. You all gave me some important information.
I apologise for not being clear in my first post.
I only want to receive messages by SMS.
I do not wish to send them.
Underwatr said that the ship has its own cellphone system that communicates with the rest of the world over a satellite link. He went on to say:
On my carrier (US T-Mobile) incoming texts come out of whatever text message allocation is in my account (since I have unlimited texts, incoming texts are free) and outgoing texts are US 50 cents each.
This is great news because the only thing that I intend to do with my Australian based SIM and phone is to read text messages sent via SMS.
I heard that it was free to receive SMSs so hopefully it may be FREE to receive when I am at sea.
The SIM and phone is not going to be my main communication method. I intend to use SKYPE on another device to make calls when I am in port.
Thank you all very much for your insight and if you have more to add I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there,
I apologise if this topic has been covered before, but I am brand new to this site and have never been on a cruise.
I feel lost at sea and am not exactly sure which forum I should be addressing my question.
The question is: Is there mobile coverage in the Eastern Mediterranean?
Am I able to receive an SMS on my mobile (cell) phone while I am at sea?
I understand the internet situation, but I do not know about mobile phone coverage at sea.
Can anybody assist?
Thank you in anticipation.
