Unanswered SPAM calls on cruise ship
When on a cruise ship and connected to Celluar at Sea - Here is how I think I get charged. I have Magenta MAX Plus Iphone.
Incoming text - free
Outgoing text 50 cents unless photo then $1.30
Outgoing phone call $5.99 a minute?
Incoming phone calls - If my phone rings and I have the option - answer or ignore - and I press ignore - do I get charged for 1 minute? If the caller ID says SPAM call and I ignore - will I get charged?
If I select on a Iphone - Silence Unknown Callers - my phone never rings but they are sent to voicemail. Do I get charged for that?
I just switched from ATT and they never charged for incoming calls that were unanswered - even those sent directly to voice mail. Not sure about T mobiile - can't find the rules. With as ofter as you get SPAM I want to not pay for SPAM but still have my phone able to accept calls from relatives...

Personally, I never want to be in a situation to find out if unanswered calls on a cruise ship are $6/min or $12/min. I would always set unconditional forwarding to voicemail and not have to worry about it.

I just found that thread - Thanks! very helpful. I posted a more detailed question there about using the "Silence Unknown Callers" Feature Didn't realize the 805 number to forward calls to was even a thing!
Thanks for your prompt replies!

@drnewcomb is the forums expert on international roaming and this is his bullet points for cruise ships.
Thanks - the information in those links doesn't answer the question. When you click on cruise ship - it asks you the name of the cruise ship - if the ship is not listed - it doesn't tell you how much it will cost - even though your phone will still connect to Celluar at Sea.
It says that if your phone is completely off - you won't get charged. It doesn't address SPAM calls sent directly to voice mail using the Iphone "Silence Unknown Callers" features.
Here's a link to International and roaming charges.
