    On an Upfront Plan

    International roaming is not compatible while you’re at sea. Your best option here is to access the ship’s own Wi-Fi. To do this, turn off international roaming from the My Telstra app:

    1. Select your service, then Extras
    2. Select International Roaming
    3. Turn Day Pass off.

    On other mobile plans such as Pre-Paid

    International roaming may be compatible while you’re at sea. If the cruise ship turns on their satellite service, your mobile device will be able to connect to the strongest signal available.

    If you choose this option, you’ll be accessing international roaming at pay-as-you-go rates, which are charged at $3 per MB. This is significantly more expensive than a Day Pass option. Telstra will send you an SMS to advise you of these rates.
