I was just pricing it, and it is cheaper than the social media package on carnival Has anyone used the at&t package yet How did it work for you? At&t has three cruise ship plans that can be used on eligible ships and in eligible ports 1) a calling and texting plan $50 for 30 days gives you 50 minutes talk time and unlimited send texts, 2) a calling, data and texting plan
$100 for 30 days gives you 200mb data, unlimited talk and unlimited send text, and 3) a $3.00 per minute plan. Starting in april 2025, at&t revamped its international land and cruise packages I never used the at&t cruise package before because i was concerned about the data overages That is now gone (although they slow you to a crawl after 500mb) I have an android phone and carnival blocks wifi. After talking to an at&t rep over chat, it sounds like the at&t package is only good for talk and text at sea, but if i want to go to cnn and read an article, or check the weather, i have to use carnival's plan
At&t considers usvi as stateside so calls don't roam to bvi towers except maybe on the far east end of st john I always turn off roaming on my phones so it can't use other towers. I am once again weighing the options of going with the at&t cruise internet package versus adding extra ncl internet minutes We will be on the october 6 sailing of the prima and have several ports but i still like to be safe on board Last time we had both and ended up using. We all have at&t and all have iphones
Is it necessary we purchase one of the cruise plans with at&t I see people mention cheaper ways to stay in touch with others on the ship but i don't know how to do that without buying the $50 plan Edited november 24, 2018 by sks1973 On at&t you would need the international day pass, at what is now $12/day to use your phone in those countries It is a flick of a switch on your at&t cellular account online to activate the international day pass, and you only get charged for it if your phone connects to a cellular network in a foreign country. I found out you don't need to set your phone to 'airplane mode
