Pase internacional

Be very careful when purchasing an international pass. It's a bit of a scam when it comes to cruises. They don't apply. Be sure not to waste your money because they charges are astronomical compared to international. Nowhere on the contract does it warn you about it not apply to cruise, SO THIS IS YOUR WARNING. I was not only charged for the pass but also for whatever the cruise ship charged T-mobile, though my contract was not with the cruise ship nor did any of the paperwork tell me this information.

    Well if I choose to stay with T-mobile after this and before my next cruise, I'll do just that. Until I make my decision I expect the information on the accessible T-mobile app to be clear and properly stated to eliminate confusion and any feelings of being underhandedly misguided. But I do thank you for that information.

    Voy a hacer un crucero, ¿qué necesito saber?

     

    You can check your cruise coverage aquí. We recommend that you turn off roaming while the ship is docked in a US port. De lo contrario, es posible que el teléfono se conecte a la red del barco e incurras en cargos por roaming por el uso. Una vez en alta mar, puedes activar la función de roaming y pagar por los datos, mensajes de texto y llamadas que uses.

    You are absolutely right. I am upset at T-Mobile and not the cruise ship for the simple fact that my agreement was with T-Mobile. The pass agreement should clearly state that cruises are not included. Had the information been stated clearly I would've not purchased it in the first place and wouldn't be upset at all. However, that's not the case.  it seems as though it was intentional that it had been left out until those like me inquire about why their bill is extremely high. At that point customers are told that the issue lies with T-Mobile's agreement with the cruise ship. T-Mobile's agreement with a cruise ship is not my concern. My agreement and a falsely advertise international pass is my grievance with T-Mobile alone because that is who I have an agreement with.

  • correct...while on ship or close enough to connect to it youre paying for that ships connection..which is not international. you can order wifi from said ship at a certain rate but yeah..youre getting a bit upset with TMO yet not at the cruise ship for not warning you of their charges.
