mind knowing that friends and
family can reach you if you are

wireless phone,Cruise Ship
Roaming provides a more
affordable alternative to
ship-based satellite phones that
can cost as much as $13 per
minute.

$2.49 per minute plus toll. Toll
charges to U.S.-based numbers
are $.50 or less. Toll to phone
numbers outside of the U.S. may

How Cruise Ship
Roaming works
Participating cruise ships have
a cell site on board that is
activated when the ship is at
sea. As the ship approaches a
port, the Cruise Ship Roaming
service is turned off. If you
wish to use your phone after
that point, you are required to
use the carrier serving the port
you are visiting.
Who can use Cruise
Ship Roaming?
Cruise Ship Roaming is available
on Alltel phones and there is no
extra software required. It is
important, however, to make sure
you have the latest roaming list
on your wireless phone before
you leave for your trip. To
update your roaming list, dial
*228 on your wireless phone from
your home city.
Cruise Ship Roaming may not
be available to Unlimited Rate
Plan subscribers. The roaming
list for these customers is
automatically updated every two
weeks.
Also, Cruise Ship Roaming
covers voice usage only. Data
usage (including BlackBerry and
Office Sync), messaging
(text/picture/video), and
Touch2Talk are not available via
