I just checked with my Wireless Provider (AT&T) and got the low-down on using your Cellphone/Blackberry etc while on the cruise.
If you turn your Phone on while you are on the Ship and send or receive a phone call - it is $2.49 a minute regardless of you plan. The Ship has it's own Tower and that is what they charge the provider which ultimately gets passedon to you. This includes incoming calls that go to your voicemail. You are charged for 1 minute!
Most plans (or at least mine) cover you in San Juan, St. John and on the little Cay (I'm pretty sure). It does not cover Turks and Caicos. So, you can use you Moble Device when you are actually on these Islands without an additional charge. But Turks and Caicos is another story.
You will be charged additionally for Emails sent and recieved too. It is 2 cents for every KB. You can purchase a package that gives you 20 MB, but you only really need it for T & C.
So it appears that we should all leave our Devices turned off at all times on the Ship and when in T & C.
If you have a different provider you might want to check,but it looks like it will be the same for everyone.
See you all soon!
