It’s only a seven day cruise to AK and I think we can get by. Everyone has had great input, which I greatly appreciate! Keep in mind your US cellular plan works in Alaska and Canada so when your ship is in port you may not need WiFi at all and may be able to get by just using your cell phone when inport.

You can use all the devices you want off one connection. If you have a windows laptop it has a built in "wifi router" so you do not need to buy an additional router; it's also one single click to turn it on 5 minutes ago, DaKahuna said: Yes. 95% they were asking if an ipad had a "wifi router" like a windows laptop, it apparantely doesn't Screenshot from a windows PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for you input! Our land in MT boarders Canada and in the past, when I’m visiting our son, who lives a mile south of the boarder, I’ve been roaming. I just shut my phone off so I don’t incur roaming charges. Now I will check in with Verizon b/c maybe things have changed. You’ve been very helpful!

I have not paid roaming charges in years but then again I have not been with Verizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one has a main carrier (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) than it is, if one has a pre-pay contract carrier it usually doesn't as they only contract US cell phone towers from the major carriers...Some examples are Visible, StraightTalk, Mint, etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
