Thanks all for recommendations. One or two more questions if I may. It appears that while mainland carriers are providing some internet service the better option might be to pick up a local 30 day sim card from Lime or Digicel. So at the risk of getting a little geeky does anyone know if let's say a Lime sim card would work in a "global" (supports both cdma & gsm) Verizon mifi device? I spoke with Verizon and they said it should but couldn't say for sure. RickG, I presume you purchased the Huawei B681 110V router in the BVI? (I couldn't find it on Amazon). Care to mention the price? Finally, is there an inexpensive mifi router I could buy and bring with me that would work with a Lime sim card? If yes, what'd it cost and where could I find it? TIA
