I am onboard and I have Tmobile and Verizon phones with me. I left my Tmobile on so I hope that I won't have a huge bill for roaming. I have a telephone that no one (except the house sitter and our office assistant) knows the number of so that when I am traveling that I will not get unwanted telephone calls where I have to pay roaming yet people can still reach me. With phone plans so cheap, you can do a shared minutes plan and have second telephone numbers for an additional $10 per month
Kathy at this point, you should be using the free hour of phone on the Voyager (because of status) ;)
This was the first cruise I DID not use my cell phone to call home to check in on the girls...we used our free hour of phone (that we get for being silver) and boy, did I ever love it! That being said, I don't recall getting such a high cell phone bill when I have used it (very sparingly, I may add) on the Mariner. Cingular, as far as I could tell DID NOT have coverage, the network that showed up on my cell phone when I looked at it in alaska was either Cellular one (in the cities) or R-108 (the roaming).
