What was the shopping service that delivered groceries to your room before you arrived? Does she also rent cell phones and drops them off to your room?
She no longer rents cell phones. Best to just purchase a cheap SXM phone or get a chippie sim card for your unlocked phone.
Where's the best place to buy an inexpensive SXM phone? Cost? Thx.
I bought one in March at Boolchands electronics in town. Around $100+/- depending on what you want. SIM card is $18-$30, depending on where you buy and that includes about $10 in credit at 15 cents per minute.
We bought ours on island also, as we weren't sure if our phone from before Irma would work, and it did not. The same phones can be had online at home for around half the price.
I checked the one I bought back in March and it was virtually the same price, online at home or here. I know when I was looking around here the prices varied a lot depending on the store. Amazon is currently $85 for what I bought and I paid $95 for it here in March. The prices drop as new models are introduced. Like any other purchase here, know your prices going in. Blue Point and some of the small electronic stores were as much as $50 higher.
BTW, I scored a really nice Cotes du Rhone at Market Garden yesterday for under $9. Their prices seem to be better than what I remember. Probably still better prices out there but it is convenient. The small store on the corner near Horny Toad used to have decent beer prices but they are way off the charts now and not busy.
OK. The one we bought was more down island than here. Other than for something really quick, I don't remember when the last time was that we visited Market Garden. For French wines, Super U or Leader Price has by far the best prices.
I just replaced the one I "thought" I had lost (first purchased at Blue Point $100) and bought it at the UTS/Chippie store in town. It was $100 there as well (and a newer version). The SIM was only $10 to replace (had minutes and $$ on the old one still which they transferred).
For convenience I didn't care if I paid $10 more than the US or another tech store.

Many of the smaller groceries have them as does the UTS offices, Mailbox and some of the electronics stores. I got mine at the UTS store, they installed it and made sure it was activated and I think it was $18.
