Well, of course you can use your phone in air plane mode. Are you asking if there's a way to access the wifi on the cruise ship, i.e. going into airplane mode but turning on wifi? I don't know, but I'd look into seeing if the cruise ship offers wifi. It may not be free though. Maybe you can check on their web site. > Second, when in > the United States territories, is it possible to opt out of the ship's > wireless network and use my AT&T data plan?

I went on a cruise a few years ago out of Galveston, and I had no cell service. We went from Galveston to Cozumel. -- Christopher (CJ) chaltain at Gmail -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
