I am from the UK, and love ID. However, now I am working on a cruise ship that is sailing around Miami and the Bahamas. Of course my ID package does not work here so what can I do? Do I need to get a new sim or is there an add on I haven't seen?
Thanks 😊

iD Mobile do not sell roaming add-ons
If you have a dual-SIM capable phone, could get a local SIM to use in your phone along side your iD SIM card.
Good luck
Hi
When you’re at sea, we strongly recommend you don’t use your phone, and put it into flight mode until you get to shore. We’re advising this because roaming charges at sea can be very expensive.
If you’re going on a cruise, or taking a ferry on a journey like Dover to Calais, roaming charges could apply, even if you’re travelling between any of our ‘Inclusive Roaming’ countries.
The reason for this is because ferry and cruise operators often use their own phone network that’s operated via satellite. Connecting to a satellite network is much more expensive then connecting to a land operated network, so that’s why your usage at sea isn’t included as part of your Inclusive Roaming allowance.
If you follow this link, you can also find out what costs these maritime charges would incur.

For this one, I would recommend using a local SIM if you need to.
I hope you find this helps!
