I would never drive with ear buds in my ears. I also think a backup camera is much more reliable when coupled with distance sensors. And with a little experience you learn how the view from the camera correlates with actual distance. Yes, without a doubt. I actually trust my back up surround view camera, and all the distance sensors far more than me turning my head in both directions and using just my own field of vision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have AT&T and am far happier than I was with Verizon. FYI - I use WiFi calling on all the Royal ships I have been on without a problem. Have not been on Wonder yet. On 3/31/2022 at 8:20 PM, DeputyDawg46 said: This is what I received as part of an email from the Wonder of the Seas IT Manger today whom I have been working with to resolve this issue. He has coordinated with several external offices to help resolve this issue on this ship and very supportive of acquiring a solution. Whatever they have done has resolved the issue as of today for the 3 iPhones in my family. Hopefully, this will work on future cruise on this ship. I’ll know again on the TA later this month. ******** From the IT Manager…. After some more troubleshooting, my contacts made some changes and asked me to test again with my devices and I was able to make few wifi calls successfully, so I was wondering if you want to give it another shot and see if this works for you as well. I would suggest the following process: disconnect your phone by going to logout.com reboot the phone reconnect to wifi-guest-wonder connect to internet using your user name and password toggle off/on the wifi calling feature after 2-3 min try to make a wifi call This is the process I use on any Royal ship when I am having issues connecting and getting the AT&T WiFi calling logo to appear. (rare cases) I also use login.com to reconnect instead of going through the wifi settings. Whenever I follow these steps, any issues that I am having seem to be resolved.

They were the only carrier with coverage in the Metro tunnels. 😉 Sprint and now Tmobile have been fine in the metro. Though I only have DC experience since 2011.

Strange. I don’t have a sim in my iPad, so I think that’s why yours rings separately. Mine is tied to my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsMom2 Posted April 27, 2022 #157 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Was on Enchantment last week and had no issues with wifi calling. I was worried this might be the wave of the future. But sounds like just part of getting Wonder up and running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traces from various countries run through Lisbon in Portugal. SES/O3b has a MEO gateway in Sintra, Portugal. It looks like Wonder may have adopted a new O3b gateway for her summer in the Med. A new public IP address could cause US based cellular providers some grief for WiFi calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your info, AT&T has published a list of unlocked phones and the advanced calling features that it allows for them. Sorry I don't have a link for you. I recently bought an unlocked Samsung S22, which is on the list but only the U.S. model, and I do have wifi calling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatsApp is not wi-fi calling. With wi-fi calling you are using your home cell plan over the internet. You can call and text anyone with a phone number. WhatsApp is over the internet but both the caller and reciever must have the WhatsApp application. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jszarmach Posted August 30, 2022 #173 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I am actually on the wonder of the seas as I write this. It is true. There are problems with Wi-Fi calling on the ship. However I was able to download the Express VPN app and it now works. My phone thinks it is in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
