PRESS RELEASE
Miramar, FL – (May, 2011) – Wireless Maritime Services (WMS), the
world leader in cellular service to the cruise line and ferry
industry, announced today that they have signed new contracts with TUI
Cruises and Ocean Star Cruises to provide cellular at sea wireless
service to guests and crew members on all of their ships.
 Jim
McKenna notes, “It’s an honor to be selected as a partner by each one
of our customers, and our new relationship with TUI and Ocean Star is
especially rewarding for WMS given the geographic focus of these
cruise lines. With TUI catering to the German-speaking market and
Ocean Star serving Mexican cruisers, our extensive list of roaming
partner agreements with hundreds of carriers around the world has
positioned WMS as the best possible choice for our customers and the
communication needs of their guests.
WMS service allows guests and crew members to use their cell phones as
they currently do on land while the ships are at sea away from
land-based cellular phone service. Connectivity is activated when the
ship leaves port and turned off when in range of land-based providers.
WMS provides uninterrupted service to guests and crew so they can stay
in touch with family, friends or business associates back home while
they enjoy the experiences of their cruise. Guests and crew can make
and receive calls, send text messages, access email and surf the
internet at rates similar to roaming internationally.
