Using Cellphones in T&C

[Girasole]

Hi everyone! Just wondering if there is a special card you can purchase to use your cell in T&C or if you just need to pay additional charges. I want to use my phone as little as possible however on days we know people are arriving I would like to keep it close but I don't want an outrageous bill when I get home.

 

Thanks!

Me and FI went to T&C in early 2008 and he had service with his blackberry on the sprint network. I would call your service provider and see if you can use it as roaming. You might not have to make any additional purchases if you have the right kind of phone. Good luck!

Our main cell services are Cable and Wireless (now they're calling themselves LIME) and Digicel. Most people don't have service when they get here or it's quite expensive if they do. You can get a pay as you go sim card on arrival, LIME's office is near Susie's Turn to the Marina and Digicel is located in the complex next to the main IGA grocery store. Check with your cell provider to see about international service, and see if you need to do anything, if you get here and it's not working, stop by one of the offices and get a pay as you go sim card.

 

Hope that helps.

So what did you end doing about your cell phone Chrissy? I know I still have a little while before I need to worry about this but just wanted to see what you did and how it worked out for you.
