This question was posted over on Cruise Critic yesterday and no one has been able to answer it. Do any of you know the answer? If we get an answer here I'll go back to CC to post.

We're 2 weeks away and counting..... Jan 17th sailing on PG.
Only one last question. Does the WMS (wireless maritime service)
cell service work on the PG? We got their flyer in out documents from
Regent. I called Sprint and they said If the ship has the service, Sprint
will work fine... Today i went to the cellular at sea website (this is WMS
website) to check and they listed the mariner, voyager and navigator but not the PG???
Can anyone confirm this is or is not going to work?
thanks in advance.... We're 2 weeks away and counting..... Jan 17th sailing on PG.

Kathy,

I don't know whether this will help or not. Two years ago on the PG I was able to use my cell phone with no problem. I had a tri band phone then and was with Cingular. I'm not sure about the WMS angle...

If you have a GSM phone, you can use it in Tahiti. I had Verizon and it did not work but I knew that and I got a T-Mobile GSM Quad Band phone and was able to use it. Actually, it even let me message Karen who posted for us and we even took a photo at the hotel and sent it to her.

You can also ask that your phone be unlocked if it is a GSM phone and you can buy a sim card at the airport from VINI (the cell carrier in Tahiti) and you can use your phone to call home. Rates were cheaper that way too.

Thanks Suzanne & Kathy. I'll post that info on CC. I wish I was the one going back over to Tahiti. This was just a question I read over on CC when I went to see what was new over there today.
