signed a new contract with TUI Cruises to provide cellular at sea
wireless service to guests and crew members on their new ship, Mein

WMS service allows guests and crew members
traveling on Mein Schiff, with a qualified plan, to use their cell
phones as they currently do on land while the ships are at sea away

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.
“We are
pleased to provide our services onboard Mein Schiff for TUI’s guests.
At WMS, we pride ourselves on delivering the best products and
services to our customers.
We have extensive experience providing our communication services to
many European customers, and our relationship with TUI underscores
this,” said Jim McKenna, Vice President of Customer Support and
