PRESS RELEASE
Wireless
Maritime Services (WMS) Announces New Contract to Provide Cellular
Service At Sea on the Peace Boat.
Miramar, FL – (March, 2010) –
Wireless Maritime Services (WMS), the world leader in providing
cellular service to the cruise line and ferry industry, announced
today that they have signed a contract with Peace Boat to provide
cellular at sea wireless service to guests and crew members.
WMS service allows guests and
crew members traveling on the Peace Boat, with a qualified plan, to
use their cell phones as they currently do on land while the ships are
at sea away from land based cellular phone service. Connectivity is
activated when the ship leaves port and turned off when in range of
land-based providers. WMS is providing uninterrupted service to guests
and crew so they can stay in touch with family, friends or business
associates back home while they enjoy the experiences of their cruise.
Guests and crew can make and receive calls, send text messages and
surf the internet at rates similar to roaming internationally.
