I'm not aware of any of the cross-channel ferries offering their own
on-ship base stations, at least on the eastern crossings, e.g. Dover-
Calais/Dunkirk. My experience has been that you retain mobile
reception from one side or another for the whole cross-channel ferry
crossing.

I also noticed that mobile reception switched over pretty seamlessly
between France and the UK when I did Dover-Calais, a few years back.

But I also noticed that I lost signal completely on Liverpool-Douglas.

Does anybody what the situation is for service between Holyhead and
Dublin or Hartlepool and Douglas?
