garycarla Posted April 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Most phones/carriers allow calls over internet these days. Anyone able to do so while on Virgin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_tacocat_ Posted April 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2023 yep, just make sure you have your wifi calling enabled before you leave port (for at&t at least, i had to activate it on cellular for it to work). i also didn't have much luck with wifi calling unless i was connected to the premium internet package.

neverendingcruising Posted April 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2023 My wife's WiFI calling was spotty but worked. Google Voice didn't work at all unless you went premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel-and-See Posted April 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 7, 2023 This may have been something about my phone's settings but when I sailed on the Scarlet Lady - I could not make phone calls over wifi. When on the Valiant Lady I could. But on BOTH cruises I could not when at the beach club at Bimini. Your mileage may vary of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got off my 5th VV cruise in the last 2 months and found "wifi calling" to be just 'OK' but not perfect. It seems to be dependent on the number of sailors on board as one would expect. Be sure to turn off your cellular or you could get whacked by the "Cellular at Sea" service charges all cruise lines offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
