It's possible to send and receive text messages at sea, as long as you have a signal through your ship's roaming network (just make sure you turn off data roaming in your settings). Texting costs a lot less than a voice call -- usually in line with standard, international "pay as you go" rates: Most major carriers charge $0.50 to send a message ($0.25 for a picture or video message); AT&T also charges $1.30 for an outgoing picture or video message. For messages received, Verizon charges $0.05/text ($0.25 for a picture or video message), and Sprint charges $0.05, while T-Mobile and AT&T deduct incoming messages from your monthly allotment.
