Sorry Jaustex, not making any judgment on you! Just said that I wouldn't pay that much. Your time is in all likelihood more valuable than mine, to be perfectly honest!

Digicel gives you 30 days and 3 GB of data for $55. That should be more than adequate for a week or ten days in our experience. You can get 1 GB for just $25.

The mifi is $80 if you buy it from Digicel. As others have mentioned, you can get one cheaper (~$50) if you buy it on eBay and bring it with you.

We always rent a car, so rarely do we do the cab thing. We also use the car to do most of our shopping. I bought the mifi and a cell phone while my wife was doing the shopping last trip.

Long story short, it would be about $135 for the device and 3 GB of data first trip. After that, just $55 top up for future uses.

You had a great suggestion in checking with the charter company, I was just offering some additional detail on the alternative. Some would say avoid the internet all together, to each their own! We like to have it, even if just to rub our friends' faces in our good fortune... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
