Phone calls between 2 people aboard ship over Wi-Fi
Phone calling between my wife & I aboard ship at sea using the ships Wi-Fi (Princess Ship), if that’s possible how’s it done in detail please.
Princess WiFi isn’t bad (actually heavily promoted these days).
I would HIGHLY recommend that before you get on the ship that you
- Deshabilitar el roaming de datos
- Disable cellular service
You do NOT want to pick up ship based 4G LTE ($$$$). WiFi is much less expensive by comparison.
Ship based WiFi works just like any other. I have used it 'freely' in the past (didn't pay for service, or sign up - works similar to airplane wifi - ship based walled garden until to pay for service, then you have access to other services)
Oddly enough, certain features (Google Maps) still worked in the middle of the Pacific w/o an account - with live updates to traffic.
Just like airplane wifi, some Internet features may be unusable - especially those that are high bandwidth. I suspect that phone 'should' work, but may be sketchy based on lag (satellite latency). Text should work fine.
We have the ships Wi-Fi package already, it was free, part of a package perk. So if we have the ships Wi-Fi can we call each other while out at sea using the Wi-Fi ?
