How much will I be charged for roaming at sea?

 

 

When you’re at sea, we recommend you don’t use your phone, and put it in flight/airplane mode until you get to shore. This is because using your phone while at sea can be very expensive. Ferry and cruise operators often use their own phone network that’s operated via satellite. Connecting to a satellite network is much more expensive than connecting to a land-operated network.

Here are the costs of roaming at sea for both Pay Monthly and Pay as you go customers:

 

Roaming (at sea) Cost
Calls to UK* £6.00
Calls to Ships, Ferries & Cruise Liners* £6.00
Calls received* £1.50
Text to Ships, Ferries & Cruise Liners** £1.20
Texts to UK** £1.20
Picture Message (MMS) sent** £0.60
Internet and Data (Per MB)*** £9.60

 

* Price per minute,
** Please note: MMS charges vary. For further information, refer to Terms & Conditions.
*** Data is charged or deducted in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.
