smplybcause Posted May 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) The problem will be that you can't control who texts you and you have to pay for each one you send and receive. Also if you don't correctly turn off data that will add up. Edited May 17, 2022 by smplybcause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted May 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Check the ports you're going to, as well. My Verizon plan includes all of Mexico, for example, without paying anything extra. Definitely do your homework, because having data turned on will rack up huge charges if you connect to the cruise ship's cellular signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just trying to find an inexpensive way to text a few times during cruise We used the $100/month international plan on our recent 13 day cruise. It is much faster than the ships wifi but only works in ports. I would take photos and send texts every day but they were only sent on port days. We had lots of ports so it was fine. No worry about unnessary incoming texts are included in the rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutigerlady Posted May 17, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2022 It’s $10 per day and only works in ports. I got a text message that my husband was using one of my travel passes when he took his phone out of airplane mode while we were in Jamaica. However, he meant to use the free wifi while we were at Margaritaville. You probably can find spots that include wifi in most ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
