United Mobile+ (new service with +44 Jersey number)

[Bossman]

Currently in St. Thomas USVI via a cruise that also stopped in Aruba, Cuaraco, St. Martin/Marteen. It left out of Puerto Rico. The UM+ sim worked in all places and including the Ships's network. This network kicks in/is turned on when not at port. So, coverage is 24/7. Juggled between UM+ sim and my IOM sim freeGlobalsim depending on the situation. Calls to my cingular mobile were forwarded to the UM+ sim via voicestick. Caller ID worked about 50% of the time.

The USVI and Puerto Rico happen to be covered as part of nationwide calls by US carriers, so I am able to make and receive calls and use data as I am tethering (use my mobile as a modem with my laptop) with my cingular sim at the moment, as if I am in the US.

Which shipping company did you travel with? What was the onboard network named?
And how much were you charged for incoming and outgoing calls?

I was on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas. According to cingular's website they charge the same for all the cruise lines. I think it's $1.99 in and out. The onboard network only had the number displayed "901-18" All four phones with different sims I had displayed this same number. The IOM sim charged $1.29 incoming. My yackie sim which is also IOM based charged the same rate yackie quoted for US on their website. Received a couple of calls while on board using the UM+, and it was charged $0.99/min. In the islands UM+ was free except for St. Martin and Cuaraco where they charged $0.45 for incoming. Don't knw about outgoing. I actually used my UM +423 for outgoing in St Martin and was charged $0.49/min.
