cruisedude859 Posted November 25, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've seen some talk about TracPhone service working/not working on Carnival ships, but was wondering if AT&T's GoPhone service works while onboard? I know GoPhone service now works in Mexico, so I'd rather go with that for while in port. I've heard horror stories of cell hacking in Mexico, so I'd much rather get a cheap pre-paid phone before I go to make sure I don't wind up with a big problem on my hands with my regular phone.

Should work because it uses the same network that AT&T does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grneyedmustang Posted November 26, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'm not sure about the GoPhones, but my regular AT&T service worked perfectly fine aboard Carnival's ships (not that I want it to, though. I'd love to be able to tell my job that my phone doesn't work on my cruise)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emttl73 Posted November 26, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I called about my rates for using the cell phone on the ship and I would have to pay $3.49 per minute. I just told my family and work I can't afford it. I am getting a cheap international phone card and make a couple short calls at a port or two.

CruisinMenika Posted November 26, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2007 In alot of cases, you have to buy a calling card on the island, or it will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
