If your away and don't have wifi then you'll pay a 3G data charge just like if you was surfing the net

Saves me a fortune when travelling overseas and the hotel has wifi, its a great app

Tim do you get wifi on your ships when out at sea? presume there is something to give you t'internet?

Not yet, the company are working on it - at the moment we only have dial-up email over a satellite link but the price of always online is coming down. Some of the terminals we call at have free access wifi but it's often overfloaded especially when my 22 crew all want to get online at the same time. Best places to go for us are the seamans' missions where there is usually a small sum to pay for access. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I've been using Skype on the iphone for quite a while, and this works a treat too.
My Wife travels to the Far East alot, so it means we can speak for free without worrying about the exorbitant hotel bills.
I've found the calls to the iphone app are much better than calls to either a landline or mobile too, none of the Norman Colliers going on with the voice breaking up!

I use skype too, and if the wifi is fast enough FaceTime

McDonalds have free WiFi

i know Tims ship is big, but i don't think they have their own McD's onboard

works great over wifi, 3g can get very choppy if your connection isnt strong.

now does free messaging too, though i still use whatsapp.
