And how about TIM and Costa ships? Do they also use a different network code?

No, on the ship I had only 1 network (Siminn; 274 01 thanks to my Netmonitor on 6630
) and I had automatically roaming.
I think that foreigner networks can't understand to be in a mixed satellite-gsm system and so you have the normal price as usual in roaming international.
For me it's strange that in Poland they thought a different price for "OceanCell" (this is name for the service of Siminn and Superfast), I suppose that a polish customer on a Superfast ship don't pay more that usually in Iceland. So I'm sure that if I'll use with a my NOT US sim card on the "Royal Caribbean" ship I won't pay more than using normally TMob/Cingular networks.
About Tim and Costa ships... no, they use the normal 222 01 but they have a special price only for Tim customers (it's incredibile I know, but a international roamer using "Tim on the ship" will pay less than a Tim customer) because I think that their billing service can't do more with int.l roamers... :construction:
