Happy planning!

So we all SGOR brides to be! Kat and Jess, you have to be SOOOOOO excited!!!! It's right around the corner, literally. Here's a silly question which I'm sure Kat will know :-) How does the cell phones work down there? Is there no reception? I would love to be able to keep in contact with my arriving guests so I know if their flights are on time etc. but it seems whenever my TA is away vacationing she always says she has limited cellphone and email access. I know I can purchase the internet connection for the week, but was kind of hoping not to and just use my phone as I get my emails and everything on it. 

 

I'm guessing I should just check with AT&T, but just wondering if you can make phone calls etc. while down there.

 

Anyone?

Nicky, You need to contact your provider and ask to have roaming activated, otherwise it won;t work. Also I think it depends on your phone and provider. I will be getting internet package if my phone would not work.

Hey girls, I did my planning thread a few days ago. It is in my signature. Check it out, I put some info for SGOR brides. At least what I remembered at the moment. I will be there in 3 weeks. Ask me questions and I will try to find you answers. Cheers!!!

Congrats Kat2012 I'm glad you had an amazing time that helps reassuring me that I made the right decision.

Ohhhh don't even worry. I was worried before we went there after reading some reviews. But some people complain about everything no matter what. Resort is amazing! Bus between two sides goes around non stop, so if you want to go from one side to another it is not a problem! Resort is updated and renovated, it is beautiful and service is excellent. Once you get there and catch Jamaican flow of things, you will enjoy it so much!!!

PS And I am a picky person LOL
