pampaul Posted May 10, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2006 We're heading out in August on our first cruise and I will be needing to make a call while on board. We're hoping to use our cell phone and was wondering what kind of rates we're looking at to be charged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted May 10, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I don't think the Dawn has a cell tower yet. So you will only able to use your cell phone near shore. It depends on your plan but the NCL cells when they are on the ship are 1.99 plus what your company charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycarla Posted May 11, 2006 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2006 VERY IMPORTANT: Access, rates, plans, etc change often. What happened to Aunt Sally last year may have NOTHING to do with what is available this year, or even last week. Double check. Meanwhile, thanks to a recent poster, I found these links for Cingular. (hint, do not try to type these, just click on the link) This is the link for Cingular rates: http://onlinestorez.cingular.com/travelguide/coverage/cruise_ships_rates.jsp?PIDL=IRSD|IRWT and more here http://www.cingular.com/customer_service/roaming_gen and a bit more detail about one ship - Jewel http://onlinestorez.cingular.com/travelguide/coverage/coverage_details.jsp?CIDL=1507&MNC=CING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
