Is there Coverage over the Atlantic Ocean
Going on a transatlantic voyage from Brooklyn to Southampton England. Is there any coverage after I leave the coast?
I suspect there will be 2 types of coverage:
- Cruise ship roaming (very expensive typically) - and you may wish to disable your cellular services BEFORE boarding the ship - as roaming may cost you for received calls (even missed) and text as well as any data (background apps).
- WiFi - While not ‘really’ cheap, it is much less expensive to obtain a WiFi pass - and it will be most likely a flat rate vs. pay per use.

There will be no native coverage but the ship you're on should offer wifi but it maybe costly.
