Pin to pin msg in Cruise ship (verizon)

I know Verizon has coverage in Carnival, will I have any charge using Pin to Pin (bb to bb) messenger?,,of course for that I need a network,,for data service,,is there any charge from Verizon? using BB messenger?

No, PIN messaging is data, plain and simple. If you're paying for data on the cruise ship, it's the same as any other data.

Yes, exactly... and BBM will not cost any extra, it's just a part of your data and whatever you pay for it.

Can anyone clarify the meaning of Cruise Ship data?

Can anyone clarify the meaning of Cruise Ship data? I recently asked for it on my account, but when I returned from my cruise I was charged all sorts of Global Roaming data charges. No Cruise Ship usage was listed on my bill even though I only used it while at sea (tethering my PC).
The rep I spoke with said that the billing codes used for Cruise Ship Data and Global Data are the same, and Global Data was how it was listed on my bill. What would the distinction be, then? I assumed that Cruise Ship data would use the cruise ship's towers, but it appears that you have to worry about what country you are sailing near while at sea and whether they subscribe. Anyone have any light to shed on this?
Thanks!
P.S. The service is even slower than what the cruise ship offers for $.55/minute, and the connection is not reliable. I will not be using this feature again, and cannot in good conscience recommend it.

Thanks so much for asking, Rayray_10803. I would be happy to clarify roaming charges.
Wireless Cruise Ship Service allows Verizon Wireless customers to make and receive voice calls while at sea using their own mobile phone and mobile telephone number.
This service exists on various cruise lines, through an agreement with Wireless Maritime Services (WMS), Maritime Communications Partners (MCP) and Sea Mobile to offer an advanced network on board various cruise ships for Verizon Wireless.
For this reason, rates on cruise ships are different than they are when you visit the country without using the towers on the ship.

Cruise ship texting

Can someone please tell me exactly how I have to set my Galaxy 3 to only be able to send and receive text messages on a cruise ship to the bahamas. We only want to use this feature for communicating our locations on the boats to friends. I don't want to hook to the wifi on the boat. So if someone can tell me how to do this so i don't get roaming charges that would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Hi tucker43, don't have a reliable answer for you but would like to pass this along. A friend of mine took a cruise ship out of NYC to down around that area. When she got her Verizon bill she had hundreds of dollars in charges. So get some good info. Goodluck

Xc7z015clg485 and xc7z030sbg485, how to design the schematic to make them pin to pin compatible

Hi all,
I have a schematic design case about pin to pin compatiblity with xc7z015clg485 and xc7z030sbg485. I compared xc7z015clg485pkg.txt and xc7z030sbg485pkg.txt. And found something different as below:
1) 010 no HP bank, 030 have HP banks. In 010, H8 IO_0_34; In 030, H8 IO_0_VRN_34; In 010, R8 IO_25_34; In 030, R8 IO_25_VRP_34. So I assigned ddr3 pins to bank34 and bank35, and pulldown H8, pullup R8.
2) In 010, V7 NC; In 030, V7 MGTAVTTRCAL_112; In 010, W3 NC; In 030, W3 MGTVCCAUX. 010 only have GTP, 030 only have GTX. So I followed the GTX rule to assign CML pins and power pins. That is to say, supplied V7 with 1.2V, and W3 with 1.8V. (to V7 and W3 with preserved 0 ohm resistors)
3) The PS pins of 010 are fully compatible with 030's ? (I assigned PL pins only with 030 pins definition)
Is there something wrong with my above 3 schematic compatible designs ? Or others I had not considered. Any question, could you please email to [email protected] or call me directly +86-134-0532-1640 ? Thank you for your help and attention!

Yeah, I've read the official Toshiba statement on this. It is, to be frank, utter bulls**t.
Almost all socket M processors have thermal characteristics within a few degrees of each other, a cooling system designed for one of them will cool all of them just as well. Certainly one that is designed to cool a hotter CPU should be able to cope with a cooler one - as I said the Thermal Design Power of a T2300 is 2 degrees +lower+ than that of the T7200 the laptop shipped with. It is also an older chip, so there is no real excuse for the bios not being programmed to recognise it and cool it appropriately.
That statement should read like this:
"We have made sure that our laptops only work with the specific processor they ship with. This is to preclude you increasing the performance of the laptop yourself. If you want a faster laptop we want to force you to buy a whole new one from us instead of just getting a better chip and fitting it using simple tools."
In my case I'm actually putting a slower chip into the laptop but it won't work for the same reason: Toshiba have +deliberately+ crippled any upgrade/downgrade paths. Toshiba have tools to change the bios so it recognises the installed chip and runs the fan appropriately, but apparently they won't share them (see "real reason" above) - I'm hoping that somebody out there also has the tools and +is+ willing to share them.

Pin-to-Pin I/O

Is the pin-to-pin I/O of the 777384-01 identical to the AT-MIO-16E-2 and if not what differs?

Hello:
The 777384-01 is the PCI-6030E (aka the PCI-MIO-16XE-10). Both the AT-MIO-16E-2 and the PCI-6030E are 8/16 ch. E-Series boards and they both share the exact same 68-pin connector and pinout. If you need to look at the pinout, the User Manual for either board will have it in the "Conenctions" section.
Good Luck!

What are the advantages to using Pin to Pin and BBM?

I haven't used BBM yet, but have been composing and sending messages Pin-to-Pin (peer-to-peer). Is that the same thing as using the BBM and what are the advantages of each? Are they better than just texting? Would appreciate an explanation, because I'm confused! Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

BBM and PIN messages are messages sent from one BlackBerry to another. The message is composed by the sender and goes through RIM's secure server before being delivered to the recipient. They are only available to BlackBerry users.
The thing I like about them is how you can see if they've been received by the recipient. Once the message reaches the recipient's phone, you'll notice a small 'D' at the start of your message. This means it's been delivered. When the recipient opens the message, that 'D' will switch to an 'R', for 'read'. So now you know that it's actually been received by the recipient.
One more great thing about these messages is that there is no limit to length. As you're probably aware, most carriers limit text messages to 160 characters; not so with these messages, they can be much longer.
BBM and PIN messages are the same type of message, but with PIN messages you're limited to just that one contact receiving it. With BBM, you can have many contacts in on a chat or you can broadcast a message to many contacts at once.
I hope that explains things for you.

One to Many / Cruise ship site

Hi, I am developing an e commerce site for a cruise ship company as part of a project for my college degree.
In my database I have some tables as follows:
create table cruisebooking (
cruise_id number,
cruise_dest varchar2(20),
cruise_date date,
cabin_number number,
cabin_avail integer,
FOREIGN KEY(cruise_id)
REFERENCES cruisedetails(cruise_id)
create table cruisedetails (
cruise_id number primary key,
cruise_name varchar2(20),
cruise_date date,
cruise_month varchar(15),
cruise_dest varchar2(20),
noofdays number,
cruise_price float
I want to have 10 cabins associated with each cruise for booking.
There is only one ship with 10 cabins so . .
cruise 1 will have 10 cabins
cruise 2 will have 10 cabins and so on . . .
How do I make it so that each cruise will have 10 cabins? So if cruise 1 is selected the user moves to the cabin reservation page and chooses a cabin (1-10) for that cruise!
I would like any help on this PLEASE !!! Thank you !

You need to have a separate entity CABIN. There are attributes for each CABIN eg (single/double/suite), location (port/starboard), class (first/steerage) etc. CRUISEBOOKING them becomes an intersection table between CABIN and CRUISEDETAILS.
Incidently cruise_dest and cruise_dest don't belong on CRUISEBOOKING - you've got them on CRUISEDETAILS. That is what we call normalisation.
You probably do what to have another entity PASSENGER which also intersects with CRUISEBOOKING. You can work out its attributes for yourself ;)
To answer your question:
How do I make it so that each cruise will have 10 cabins?The easiest way to do this is programmatically. When you create a new record for CRUISEDETAILS you create ten new CRUISEBOOKING records, with cabin availability = Y. (As I type this I start to have doubts about the name of this table and hence your entire data model but I don't really want to open that particular can of worms). Anyway, looking at this I think you might want to have these details stored in two tables (SHIP and CABINTYPE) even though you've only got one ship at the moment.
If you do go down that route you will need to use a stored procedure. If you want to hardcode the one ship/ten cabin model you could get away with a BEFORE INSERT trigger on CRUISEDETAILS. Note that this is implementation. I think you should flesh out your data model before you go think about such things.
You may be wondering why you have to do this programmatically. This is because of the nature of SQL and relational integrity. We can enforce the rule that every child record must have a parent but we cannot enforce the obverse rule, that every parent must have a child. (well actually there are workarounds but you really don't want to go there).

Was told that on a cruise ship you can bypass the ship and connect for $35 per month?

I was told that you can connect on a cruise ship for $35 per month. Not using the ship connection or incurring any fees from the ship. True??

What other connection are you thinking of using out in the middle of the ocean somewhere? Even if there were another ship somewhere within sight, it would still be too far to use it's connection. Sorry, you have no other choices but to use the ship connection and whatever fees they set. Now, bleach has a good suggestion, a cruise director or similar might be able to help you locate a reasonable plan for a connection.
Good luck.

Using a PowerBook on a cruise ship

Hi everyone,
I'm currently on board Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas and frustrated because I can't use my PowerBook to connect to its WIFI service. I've found other frustrated PowerBook and iBook owners with the same problem and the help desk keeps saying the network is only for computers running Windows.
I know from reading cruise-related message boards that other Mac users have been able to use the WIFI service. I'm hoping there is someone on here who has had success doing that and can post the network configuration, if they can remember.
Thanks in advance!

What are the instructions for windows users? we can
start there and see if we can talk you through the
set-up. There aren't windows only networks.. just ill
informed network techs
You also might want to try the airport forums:

Don't let this ruin your vacation.. go out and get
some sun for those of us here at work
Thanks, Sandman, for the quick response but my Internet minutes ran out shortly after my post. I'm back on shore now and had a great cruise despite the inability to get my PowerBook connected.
There were no instructions for getting online... they said launching a browser would automatically connect you to their WIFI service and you just had to log in.
It was very frustrating for myself and two iBook owners who specifically brought our laptops after reading from other cruise-ship passengers who reported successfully they were able to use their Macs on board.
The ship's IT staff repeated their system only supports Windows -- which is a crock, as you suggested -- and wouldn't even try to help out a Mac user. One fellow cruise passenger said the IT guy she spoke to had a look of horror on his face when "Mac" was brought into the conversation.
No doubt Royal Caribbean does not wish to support Mac computers and therefore tells people plainly that their system does not work with Macs. It's ironic that its corporate web site is designed to work with Safari.
Myself and the other Mac users that were on board plan to write letters/e-mail and complain about the lack of support for Mac users.
Thanks again for your reply. I didn't even think to post my question on the Airport forum, which would've been more appropriate.
Cheers!

Can I connect by wifi on a cruise ship without a ship account?

I would like to do some browsing on board a cruise ship (Celebrity Line) so that I can check my web mail and see other current information. Will the iPhone wifi be able to work without having to pay the cruise line for access?

Very unlikely you'll see free Internet on a ship. The last time I checked on satellite broadband, it cost them thousands of dollars a month per ship. No cable, you know?
Different ships even within a line have different capabilities. As Allan suggested, you should check their website. Doing so, we see:
• $0.65 cents per minute with no package.
• $40 for 75 minutes
• $60 for 125 minutes
• $80 for 185 minutes
• $100 for 260 minutes.
However, it all seems moot, as just below that is this note:
"Apple MAC default browser (Safari) is not compatible with the Wireless network onboard. Please obtain Firefox or Internet Explorer for MAC prior to accessing the Wireless system onboard."

Recharge abroad? on cruise ship??

Can I recharge my original iPhone, bought in the US, using a 220 outlet with an appropriate plug adapter? or do I need a converter, as well?? How about using the "razor outlet" in a bathroom, either in London or on a cruise ship??

Cruise ships typically have at least one normal socket in the cabin. Do take an extension cord.

3g aboard cruise ship in baltic

I am leaving for Amsterdam in 3 weeks and would like to have my Ipad with 3G to work in Amsterdam and aboard a cruise ship going to Russia.
Can I hook it up? Att and Apple don't seem to know the answers.

You can get international roaming, but it's going to be really expensive, unless you're just checking email.
You sure the cruise ship doesn't have WiFi? A lot of them do these days.

Cruise ship info anyone?

Does anyone have any experience using an iPod touch on a cruise ship yet, with respect to Wi-Fi connectivity? I was curious if you can get any Wi-Fi conection on a Florida-Caribbean ship.
Thx

I don't know what's your cruise company. But for example, Royal Caribbean that actually make Caribbean cruises has Wi-Fi connection.
The cost is:
Base rate is $.50 per minute or choose from one of their prepaid packages:
$25.00 for 60 minutes
$35.00 for 90 minutes
$50.00 for 150 minutes
However, they also inform that you'll need a laptop, Windows operating system
and 802.11b Wireless networking capability to use their Wi-Fi access.
Hope this helps!
