joeangel Posted April 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2015 We will be aboard the Victory soon and one of our ports is Key West. Not that we will be using our phones, but if we were, will using our phones cost extra even though Key West is technically in the US? Thank you :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langoustine Posted April 25, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you from Europe or somewhere else? Key West is not technically in the U.S., it is the U.S., in the state of Florida. If you have a U.S. cell phone plan, it's no different than using it in, say, Kansas. If it's not a U.S. carrier, then all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eandj Posted April 25, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2015 No, your calls should not cost more than any other call made within the U.S.... As long as your phone plan has coverage, you will be good to go. I do know that a few years ago, my aunt complained about her AT&T coverage while she spent a month in the Keys. I would hope now, 4 years later, things should be ok for all plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verizon has the best coverage throughout the Keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted January 10, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 10, 2016 There is nothing 'technically' about Key West being 'part of the United States'. It is in the State of Florida and is just as much U.S. as every other state in the union. :) Use your phone freely with no worries if your plan covers the lower '48'.

sail7seas Posted January 10, 2016 #15 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Seeing Key West is in Florida, keep in mind you do not have to declare anything your purchase there. It will have been bought 'in country' and does not have to be listed on your Declaration...... same as San Juan. (Though, of course, Puerto Rico is not a state.)

logan25 Posted June 26, 2016 #17 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Not a dumb question at all. Puerto Rico is U.S. But I get no coverage on the island, at least nowhere near the ship. And I could not get any coverage in Anchorage, Alaska, last summer. Y'all who are offended, need to get over yourselves.

Marylandteachergirl Posted July 1, 2016 #18 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's like people asking if they speak English in Hawaii. There are a lot of people who don't speak English in Hawaii - and in Texas, California and S. Florida, too. Or at least, not much English.
