Don't mean to derail the thread, but where can I get more info about mifi devices? We are going to be sailing the Leewards and going between several islands and I am hoping to find a solution for that trip, as well as future trips. I know nothing about mifi, but it sounds like I should be able to find a mifi device that I can just switch sim cards depending on where we are. Is that correct? Any advice on which device to look at?
Thanks for any help.
Matt Yes, you can, we have used it in the Caribbean and Europe. In the French islands , I think the service was Orange. We set the wifi, or mifi to the name of the boat. Click on Long Overdue and everyone on board can use the signal.

I asked the mifi question a few posts up. Just to clarify: I have AT&T as my stateside carrier but don't want AT&T to have anything to do with when I am using the mifi device outside of the country. If I buy a mifi device from AT&T will it be locked and only work on the AT&T network (or roam on a foreign network but still be billed through my AT&T account)? Or is it as simple as just switching out sim cards to lime when in the BVIs, orange when in the French islands, etc... and I will be entirely disconnected from AT&T? Do I need to look for an unlocked device to be able to switch to different providers depending on where I am located?
Also, are all sim cards universal in terms of shape and functionality? Or is that something to consider as well?
Just want to make sure I end up with the right device that will give me the most flexibility.
Thanks,
Matt There are 2 sizes of sim card, they can be cut to fit. Once you take out your AT&T sim, your phone is useless. Yes, it's just like plug and play, put in the Lime sim and call away.
