Cell Phones At Sea |
|||||
|
November 22, 2005
The first Silversea ship to deploy the SeaMobile services will be the Silver Whisper. Passengers and crew aboard the ship will be able to use their own cellular phones and wireless PDAs while at sea, just as they do on land. Charges for calls and data services while at sea will appear on the wireless customer's bill from their home carrier. SeaMobile's proprietary technology is "agnostic" to the type of phone the traveler is using and will work with GSM, GPRS or CDMA. This allows virtually anyone aboard any vessel at sea to use voice and data services available through their wireless home carrier, just as they would on land. SeaMobile's solution can also work with any satellite provider, including those currently offering services to the maritime industry, the company said. Worldwide roaming agreements established by SeaMobile provide transparent connectivity for wireless services. Coverage aboard Silver Whisper can include the entire ship or select areas to enable "quiet zones." Report Your Experience
