pthjudy Posted April 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2016 We will have unlimited internet on our upcoming TA on Riviera. In the past, I have used free phone apps to call my kids/grandkids a few times during the cruise. I could call their landline and often it was very clear, even from the middle of the ocean. The ones I have used in the past (Magic Jack and Google Voice, among others) are no longer in the same format. On my last cruise I was using a "free phone app" when my free use was cut off in mid sentence. Does anyone know of a free iPad phone app that they have used successfully with wifi? I know I could use FaceTime but that requires the other end being available. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalon1025 Posted April 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Sailed on the Riviera on March13th and needed to call into meetings all week back home, I used WhatApp and Google Hangouts via Wifi and had no major issues (i once had a two hour uninterrupted call). The wifi on the Riviera isnt great, many days it barely worked and i'd have to hunt around the ship for a stronger signal. But if you have a decent signal, there should be no issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grmmybtty Posted April 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2016 We were able to use FaceTime with free wifi while onboard the Regatta last year to communicate with kids and grandkids who all have iPhones and iPads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
