always Posted January 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Anyone that has recently sailed on the Getaway - did you notice how much it is to call the US from the room on sailing days. I have elderly parents, and hope to call them every day, even on sailing days. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted January 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) I can't remember. But if you have a cell phone, the cellular at sea cell phone rates from your service provider are cheaper...somewhere around $2.50 a minute...maybe less. I just looked at a Freestyle Daily from about a month ago. Cabin phone rates were $4.99 a minute. Edited January 2, 2016 by roger001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMerritt Posted January 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Yes, call your cell phone provider for special pricing - we get a 30 Day international rate special on one of our phones through AT&T Besides the hourly rates posted, there are a lot of taxes and other charges that mount up quickly - please check before coming home to a huge bill. Can you communicate with them via emai? Or email them through a family member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlossy Posted January 4, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I called Verizon. It was $40 for 100 minutes, 100 outgoing texts and 100 mb of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
