Side note: If you get Google Fi phone service. it works internationally . I think no extra cost for calls. (I pay per Mb for data) We have used it in Europe and St Maarten/Martin without issue. Service at home in the US is good too. Very happy.

I have no idea how the mobile app works but I can check mine via the regular site.

Linda--that's what we do. Although the last couple of trips we barely used it, as we just used wifi calling most of the time.

CaribLee--I think we used the local phone just once to make a reservation last trip. We basically don't make reservations anywhere, unless it is very specific., as it's usually just the two of us and we generally travel off season and eat fairly early.

I use it primarily to make local calls while on the island.....mainly for dinner reservations and such. We use WIFI calling with WhatsApp for reservations at restaurants and beach bars. Works great as most places have a WhatsApp number for calls and texting.

The link I furnished will allow $1 top up. This is allowed when using the reloadable top up card.

I got mine at one of the Chippie stores but it was several years ago and they were hard to find then. You might try the "Contact US" link from the site I referenced and see if they can help you. I am not sure how up to date the site is but I would personally try Tech Hub in the Carrefour grocery on Bush Road. It is similar to a credit card and looks similar to the one pictured on the site.
You are close IF you can find the card.
Good luck.
J.D.
