Cruise Ship Roaming

I only used the IOM for calls. Actually, my cingular sim was forwarded to IOM via voicestick. They charged whatever the rates listed for roaming in the US. The on ship service is provided by a company called Wireless Maritime service. Our cingular phones showed "Cellular At Sea" on the screen. All other sim showed the nwtwork code of 901-18 or so. It's actually a joint service with cingular (see below) so may be that's why they charge the rates for roaming in the US.
