The best you can do is to just manually try to connect to various signals (less Cellular at Sea) and see what happens. You should get a text saying "Welcome to Elbonia. Data is free but very slow." Or something to that effect.
You might want to see if your phone allows excluding the signal of the ship's cell service. For instance, it may be 2G and you can set your phone to only work on 3G or better.
Thank you. I do have another question. I usually get notifications everywhere I go saying, "You are roaming" regardless if I'm on an authorized Tmobile partner network or not. So, how do I know for sure I'm on acceptable network?
