We are sailing on the Oasis in August, and have purchased several VOOM packages for our family of six, which includes 4 teens who frequently text friends.
I know that social media apps will work with the Voom package, so my kids will generally use those to stay in touch with friends. We should be able to use iMessage to stay in touch with each other.
Does anyone know what happens for incoming texts (ATT)? My daughter is in many group chats, etc. , so I know there will be many that we can't prevent. I don't want to discover hundreds of dollars in charges for our week long cruise. There is some sort of International text/calls on our plan, but I think that's for outgoing texts. Will airplane mode prevent texts but still allow us to access the voom wifi?
I'm sure this is something simple, but new to us. Thanks for any help so I can eliminate this from my "worry list" haha!
