We ordered one last year and it all went well, without any hitches. The card arrived before we left and we followed the included instructions once on the island to activate it.
Our plan was to keep it activated, but I fell down on the job and let it lapse by not adding money on time once we get back. We plan to use them again this winter. (And hopefully I will remember to keep it activated.)

For us, going with MrSimCard was worth it because we have it on arrival, we don't rent a car, and we stay in Orient where there is not a Chippie store close by. I also like to have all of these sorts of things taken care of before we leave home.
There is a cell phone store at Hope Estate, but I have never checked to see if they sell Chippie cards.

VGerfo said: So I have an Apple phone with Verizon. Anyone know what the options are now that we have lost Sharon. I don't even know what a SIM card is. Thanks for your help! We have the same iphone with Verizon. We just use Verizon international service. It's $10.00 a day. Just let Verizon know you want it and the service starts when you first use your phone on island. We've used their service in Asia and Europe as well. It always works really good. There might be cheaper alternatives but we've never looked into it.
