cell phone calls
I have a Page Plus phone (no contract and uses the Verizon network).
What are my options for making calls in Labadee, Falmouth, Georgetown and Cozumel? From past posts, calling from the ship is expensive. Thanks, Marsha |

I know Verizon charges 99 cents a minute in Cozumel and $1.99, IIRC, in Georgetown and Montego Bay (should be the same for Falmouth). I didn't get a price on Labadee. Just because Page Plus is using Verizon's towers in the US, does not mean it has contracts with foreign towers like Verizon has. You really need to talk to Page Plus, Marsha. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

From past posts, calling from the ship is expensive. Why is it that people take a short break and feel the need to ring home? When I cruise, I *NEVER* take a phone with me. I tell people if they really want me, they can email me. I check my email when I return home. |

From past posts, calling from the ship is expensive. As Janet mentioned you need to contact Page Plus. I looked on their web site and it says supported international roaming countries are Bermuda, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico and US Virgin islands. So Cozumel would be the only port it will work on at $1.10 a minute if that is an accurate list on their site. Also no mention of cruise ship s so probably not there either. If you have to have phone service I suggest either signing up with AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile or getting an international calling card for making calls at the ports from land lines. Also no land lines at Labadee. Don't know about cell service as I never turned my phone on there. -- Charles |

My friend's phone is through one of those major companies you mentioned and she is checking into where she will have coverage. I will get an international calling card. We should be fine. |

The reason is that many of us have a life at home and need to, or want to, maintain contact. I am tending toward letting people decide for themselves how much they need to stay in touch with home.
