Heading down this Tuesday, have to pick a carrier, BVI Digicel or BVI Lime. Is one better than the other? Thanks! EckyEcky

Roaming plans just keep getting better and better. AT&T and Verizon have $10 a day plans that give you exactly what you already have in the states. T Mobil is free roaming. I do not see the upside in wasting valuable vacation time tilting at windmills with cell phone companies.

Using our stateside Sprint phones, $.20/min voice, pay as you go, no other charge. Just changing settings and have to pick a carrier. I can try both, but I'd rather just start with the "perceived" better carrier and forget about it. Thanks again!

We have verizon and I used the $10 day plan without issue last summer. If I remember correctly, the phone initially hooked me into CCT Boatphone, which was pretty much garbage, but once I manually switched to digicell no problem and I was able to stream music everywhere all week.
