from Verizon's own site, "pay as you go" talk rate is $1.79/min (Texts = $.50 send/$.05 receive, MMS= $.25) in St. Maarten (Netherland Antilles), St. Martin, and St. Barth Verizon International Roaming Ratesif you think you'll be using your phone a lot, you can sign up for Travel Pass for $10/day, with no per minute charges or data usage charges Verizon Travel Pass - $10/Daythen of course if you're on wifi, you can use WiFi Calling for free, which allows your phone to act as if you're in the US....calls to/from US are free, but calls to/from SXM will be billed at the "pay as you go" rates linked to above

We have carried our island phone with us when we leave the villa. We leave our US phones here, and have them set on WIFI and airplane mode and leave them there. Hopefully we should have no problems. Will report when we get home.

Kim--Like I said, I'm happy to just carry the island phone when we leave the 'house', and leave our good phones here..

When we went in April we wanted/needed data where ever we were (such as at Cupecoy and other places on the beach) so we went with a monthly plan on Verizon. They had two options, one at $100 per month but we went with the larger option which was about $120 per month if I remember correctly. It worked pretty well for us, and while that is probably a lot to many people per phone it made our lives much better and allowed us to relax with a reliable ability to work remote.
Cheers, T
I prefer the Isle seat
