Staying Connected: Essential Communication Tips for Seafarers in Liverpool
Mobile phone communication devices are available at Liverpool Seafarers Centre.
Being at sea can mean long stretches away from loved ones. Here at the Liverpool Seafarers Centre, we understand how crucial it is to stay connected. That's why we've made it our mission to provide seafarers with easy and affordable communication options while you're in port.
Free Wi-Fi: Your Gateway to the Digital World
First and foremost, we offer free, high-speed Wi-Fi at our centre. Whether you need to catch up on emails, video call family, or simply browse the web, our reliable connection is here for you. You’ll find our Wi-Fi password displayed around our centre.
Need a Device? We've Got You Covered!
Don't have your own device? No problem! We have laptops available for use at the centre. You can use them to access the internet, check your messages, or handle any essential online tasks.
Additionally, if you need to make a quick call or send a text, we also have mobile phone devices available for use while you are visiting the centre.
Discounted SIM Cards: Affordable Communication
We know that international roaming can be expensive. That's why we offer subsidised SIM cards specifically for seafarers. These SIM cards offer competitive rates for calls, texts, and data, allowing you to stay in touch without breaking the bank. They come with various levels of data allowance. Ask our staff for details on how to acquire one of these SIM cards when you visit the centre.
Tips for Staying Connected:
Utilise video calling apps: Apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, and Skype are excellent for staying in touch with family and friends, especially if you're missing face-to-face interactions.
Explore social media groups for seafarers: Connect with other seafarers online to share experiences, tips, and support.
Download offline maps and translation apps: These tools can be invaluable when navigating a new city or communicating with locals.
