Watch Netflix on vacation and avoid high roaming charges
While most of us try to get away from our electronic devices during vacation time, sometimes it feels good to watch a movie to relax, catch up on a show, or keep everyone in the group entertained.
Watching Netflix on your regular data plan might not be a problem if you have unlimited data or have WiFi available. But what happens, when you travel outside your data plan coverage?
Depending on your streaming settings, it could take 1GB for one hour of streaming a movie or TV show in standard definition. You could lower the setting and get up to 4 hours per GB of data. Netflix automatically selects the best video quality based on your internet connection. You can also manually adjust the video quality to a lower tier in the “Account” section on Netflix’s website. Opting for SD rather than HD or UHD can significantly reduce your data usage.
If you use WiFi offered in your hotel or on your cruise ship, it could either be spotty or expensive, depending what package is available for streaming.
A good way to save data usage with Netflix is to download your movies and shows ahead of time, when connected to your carrier’s data plan or when you have a steady WiFi connection.
Another option is to purchase a eSIM from Red Bull MOBILE for over 100 countries worldwide or a Telenor Maritime package. That way you will be connected and can stream movies and shows wherever you are.
Simply download the Red Bull MOBILE App, choose your destination or cruise ship plan, and stream away!
FAQ
Wanneer moet ik het pakket kopen?
Je moet de eSIM installeren en het pakket kopen voordat je gaat cruisen. Het pakket is 30 dagen geldig na activering – dus een paar dagen van tevoren zou perfect zijn. Je kunt de pakketten elke keer opwaarderen. (Voor het opwaarderen heb je connectiviteit nodig – doe dit dus aan land of zolang je connectiviteit hebt met gebruik)
In de Red Bul MOBILE App zie je hoeveel data je al hebt gebruikt.
Hoe wordt de service geleverd?
Het Dream cruiseschip heeft een verbinding met een satelliet internetprovider.
Op je Dream cruiseschip hebben we een 4G netwerk dat verbinding maakt met je handset.
(Let op: het is GEEN Wi-Fi-dienst, maar de verbinding komt via je eSIM van Red Bull MOBILE)
Waarom zou ik Red Bull MOBILE op zee gebruiken?
Red Bull MOBILE is eenvoudig en probleemloos roamen tegen betaalbare prijzen.
Geen torenhoge rekeningen, gewoon prepaid.
Waar moet ik rekening mee houden op zee?
Houd er rekening mee dat je de dataroaming van je primaire simkaart moet uitschakelen.
In je instellingen moet je Red Bull MOBILE voor mobiele data activeren.
In order to ensure proper functionality, you should purchase and install the eSIM before you board your cruise ship. You will need an internet connection to set up your data plan, therefore it would be advisable to have your plan set up where you have a strong internet signal.
The packages are valid for 30 days after activation. When you’ve used up 80% of your data, we’ll let you know — so you won’t get stuck without any data. You’ll get another notification once your data has finally run out.
In the Red Bull MOBILE App you will also see how much data you have already used.
