av3206 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 So do we not have any app access to the anthem? We have a party of 10 just wondering how we can communicate I am ok with not being able to communicate with the other members of my family ha but just wondering the app I downloaded says it won’t work on the anthem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Anthem uses the RoyalIQ app which is different than the Royal app. RoyalIQ has an $8 (per cruise) text feature, or if you have iPhones, a loophole allows iMessage to work for free on Anthem for iPhone-to-iPhone messaging. RoyalIQ only works on the ship, you can't use it before sailing like the new Royal app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like I was going to be stuck buying Voom just to message each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Text messages (green) to non-Apple devices won't work. You'll also get notifications such as news or weather alerts if you have apps that provide those but if you tap a notification the app can't load the content without a paid Voom plan. hsweat22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdrfrag Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hehe, love how that loophole is still open after all this time. But then I wonder if much work has been done on the RoyalIQ app or have IT been retasked with the new Royal App Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
