darthmikeyd Posted March 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2017 We are going on the Magic in August, and I was wondering if we get the Social Media Internet package and I use the Facebook app on my phone, can we still do live Facebook videos, or are those blocked? Thanks in advance for any responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monalis Posted March 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2017 No videos or live streaming unless you get the top tier. Sent from my XT1030 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted March 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2017 even with the top tier streaming is sketchy at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisewithwife Posted March 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Can you make calls through Facebook messenger with the social? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad1972 Posted March 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Can you make calls through Facebook messenger with the social? Yes but its again sketchy, cuts in and out and there is a delay in sound by about 1-3 seconds. makes it frustrating to have a conversation. Best bet is to use FB voice calls and not video calls. Upgrade to the Value plan and video calling is a bit better as its a faster WiFi speed. but again there is still the delay in sound no matter what plan you use. thats just how it is with satellite internet connections. Latency/Ping is high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthmikeyd Posted March 26, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Thanks for the responses. Are the plans per device, user, or room? That will help me decide what we are going to do. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted March 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2017 only one device at a time, so you can be on your laptop, log off and log onto your cell. I got the top tier, wife got the mid level, it was about $200 for the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums My understanding it is a per login thing. You can only use one device at a time while logged in but you can use that login across multiple devices just one at a time Sent from my XT1565 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewLewBelle Posted March 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Last 2 cruises I've made calls through Facebook and had no problems. Also we have iPhones and somehow was able to text in airplane mode. I did not have the internet package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufc99 Posted March 27, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2017 What would be the cheapest package for just texting people overseas? Same question if you just wanted to go on Facebook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
