My friend did the Holland America Cruise to Alaska and he said that AT&T works, but you generally get charged more when you make/recieve calls on the ship because of roaming. When you are off of the ship in the towns of Alaska, you probably wont get charged anything.

While you are on board any coverage you have will be going through the ship's cell tower, which means you will be charged as if you were roaming, regardless of your regular carrier. As far as in port, you'll need to check the ATT wireless website or call their 611 service for coverage information on Alaska.

Will my british television work in the Netherlands
Will my british television work in the Netherlands?
I've heard contradicting verdicts. Some say no, others say yes. If my British TV will not work in Holland, what is the reason and science behind this? (not including the issue of the electrical plug, which is easily converted to European version) And the TV is about 5 years old, and is a Philips. (!)

Unless it's a 30 year old it should work with all the European standards at least. What's the make and model? (reason and science behind this is the variety of standards used; PAL, SECAM and NTSC, check the links in my source for more details) The only thing that will probably cause a (small?) problem is the power supply and plug, I believe they're different in the UK... -edit- I just checked, UK and Netherlands both use PAL so that won't be a problem... "Thus a PAL-I TV (the United Kingdom for example) will receive no sound if taken to the Netherlands (PAL-B) if all the TV's tuner is able to decode is PAL-I. (Fortunately, most European tuners support most of the broadcast variations )." -edit- @Barry, Philips is good, but what's the modelnumber? You can find it on a sticker on the back of the TV-set... @Willeke; you always give great answers, but this one I'm sorry to say is quite wrong... The way the signal is being broadcast has changed from analogue to digital but that makes absolutely no difference to the television set, it only means you need a digital antenna instead of an analogue one if you're using an antenna at all... The signal going to your tv is still analog and so is the signal from digital cable tv, it's decoded to an analogue signal by the decoder... Only if you have a high tech HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player can you get a digital signal to your tv set and only very new HD-screens have those kinds of digital connections (called HDMI)... They also still have regular analogue inputs too though...

It also depend on whether it is an old TV using analog signal or a new one that can handle digital input. There is no analog signal anymore in the Netherlands, so unless you take a cable connection or satellite dish you will need a fairly new television that can handle digital input. Cable might also be available in digital format, but as I do not own a TV I am not up to the newest changes. And of course, you need an adapter plug for the electricity, as we have a different system of outlet and plug. Added: As I said, I do not have TV, but I do know that both the Netherlands and the UK are changing from the old system of broadcasting with aerials to a new system that is digital, and that we are ahead of the UK in that. So ignore my wording, but look in the manuals or on the TV itself if it is an old one. I guess that a 5 year old set should work with the new system.

It should. Just the plug needs changing. It may not be covered by Sony NL in warranty though.

ps2 works fine, ps3 should be no different and if you get an adapter you don't even need to change the plug :-)
