CruiseMountain Posted November 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Has any Canadians purchased a T-Mobile SIM card from Amazon and have been able to access the network while at sea or on the islands and not be charged extra. I know it will work in San Juan and St. Thomas but I was curious if the data would work at sea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted November 3, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2023 You will be charged roaming while at sea. Without seeing the fine print on the prepaid sim I can't tell you whether you will be charged anything while on land outside the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher_62 Posted November 3, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2023 If you have a wifi package, use wifi calling. We use it all the time while at sea and on Cococay and Labadee - works very well (as well as the wifi - lol) and costs nothing (outside of the wifi costs).

My T-Mobile Legacy Pay-As-You-Go SIM (no longer available) roams in many countries + Cellular at Sea. Usually 50c send/10c receive for texts. Voice calls vary by country. The plan has no data.

Lots of SIM card information there. I also suggest you use the Follow feature on any new topics/threads you start or any other topics/ threads where you are interested in the new replies. That way you will not have to go looking to see if there are new posts because they will come looking for you as notifications. If you need information on how to do it, please click here: How to: Follow Topics & Forums (Subscribed Threads/Forums Info) Hope this will be helpful! Happy sails, Host Kat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
