family cruisers Posted May 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Every time we go to Bermuda I always have a problem using my cell phone. I always call ahead and switch plan to international, they give me instructions as to what to do and can never call home etc... WHAT am I doing wrong??? It's verizon cell service that I have. HELP!!! lol Thanks, Carrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shof515 Posted May 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2014 make sure you phone has roaming enable. If you have a non-smartphone, it might have problems with picking up a signal from a non verizon tower in bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted May 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Call Verizon and have them review the calling procedures as well as your phone settings. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMike Posted May 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) I have found that when my Verizon Galaxy S3 phone switched from my us home to the ship's service, or from the ship to Bermuda, I need to actually power off (reboot) the phone in order to make calls. I do not have any problem with texting, just calls. Edited May 27, 2014 by MagicMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
