The cell coverage is really good in the BVIs. Our cell service in the US is AT&T. They have an "as-you-need-it" international plan. It doesn't cost anything to put it on your plan. You pay $10/day when you need it. This includes calls, text, hot spot, etc. We use one phone as the hot spot and connect the other phone, ipad and laptop through it (wifi). We probably use it about an hour to two hours each day. When we researched, we found this to be the most cost effective method.

When you're in the Bight, you get AT&T from St. John's, so no $10 charge on those days. However, if you are calling the BVIs from the Bight it will be a "long distance" call, as if you were in Omaha.

Some companies include the wifi use with the cost of the charter. Horizon and Dream Yacht have wifi on their boats, but the cost is not included.
