Texting charges whilst on board to Someone on board cost ?

[Tikka234]

Hi we're going to The Fjords next month was wondering how much a text message would cost to another mobile onboard?  We're with Vodafone it would just b e to check were one of our party is. 

I know I can use room phone to another room it's just out and about on the ship could take ages to find someone.

Thanks

You will be using the satellite mobile connection. It's about 50p for a text.

The satellite does not work in many of the deep fjords as the line of sight to the satellite gets blocked by the high mountains.

Most days in the fjords when the ship is berthed, the maritime service will be switched off and the local cellular service will operate, where the cost of texts should be the same as the UK.
