To anyone that has sprint cell phones. What is the cost to use it on the ship per min

[Neiner]

so that's what airplane mode is for! I've always wondered that. Thanks so much!

I have the Everything Data Share 1500 plan. If you go to your Phone and Plan link on sprint.com, you can get the international roaming $4 add-on there.

Could everyone who takes a phone restrict its use to their room and leave the ringer turned off? I can understand if you have a sick loved one you need to be available for but in most other cases it is an unnecessary annoyance. Nothing says 'I'm not getting away from it all' like a phone ringing in a buffet line, elevator, dining room, theatre....

All the rates for cruise ships and each country for texting and calling are listed on Sprint's Web site.

I haven't read the thread but..... airplane mode does not transmit any signals.... believe it or not, i have had a pilot call back and ask me to check for pax on phone as they were having interference on the radio during decent. We actually had to go round due to this interference. Sure it is a very small percentage that it would actually happen, but it can.

Here is the link http://www.nextel.com/en/services/wo...d_sprint.shtml and if you haven't talked to the international department and updated your phone yet I would defiantly do that. As you are very likely to need a new software update to use the foreign towers
1-888-226-7212, option 2

Really I wonder why? It seems as if others have had service.

Called Sprint today. No texting outside this country however if someone IN the USA sends me a text while cruising - it may or may not go thru. If it does, no charge to me because of my plan. Then they followed up with the same email as above. Voice calls will cost anywhere from $1.29 to $3.99 per minute.
