We tried to use it once and it did not work very well at all. Depending on what carrier you have, actual texting may not be terribly expensive. On Verizon for example, with their international plan, text messages are 50 cents to send and 5 cents to recieve (just make sure you have data roaming off because that is a fortune!). Depending on how heavily you plan on texting, that may not be that bad.

Texting alot on board im with a large group of family

How much was the service on board?

The service is $10/pp and it worked most of the time, but not always. Still, it was better than nothing.

Can confirm $9.99 per device to use it (off Breakaway today.) Main problem with messaging is in iPhones you must open the app to see messages and get notifications. If phone is dark and in your pocket - nothing. Open your home screen - nothing. Open IConcierge - oh there are the messages since the last time you looked. You need to check often. There are times we feel messages were delivered late also. But it's better than nothing. Notifications may work better on Android.

Yikes! I wanted it to reach my brother who will be in another cabin in a timely manner....not 3 hours later. ugh! In this day and age you would think it would all be a bit simpler than this. I suppose it's better than nothing.

You can always just call his cabin.

We were very unhappy with the iConcierge texting on Escape in October.

I thought it was just us, but I see others have had a problem with iPhones as well.

No notifications came through, which essentially made the program completely useless.

We tried twice to go to internet desk; once the line was at least 12 people long and the other time there was no one there, so we just gave up.
