You are really gonna like Skype once you get down island. Skype-out is 2
cents/minute to the US vs. $2+/minute for the cheapest island rates. Also
much better sound than the coconut and string POTS you will encounter many
places. :-) Even for local calls it is a great deal. In the BVI Skype-out
is 12 cents. Even the locals pay a quarter on their land lines.

I use an unlocked GSM phone with a pre-paid SIM card. The rates from St.
Vincent and the Grenadines, St Kitts, Nevis, and Grenada is US$0.36/min,
Antigua is US$.56/min, Barbados is US$0.44/min days and US$0.26
weekends. I can call or receive calls from anywhere on the island or the
boat and don't have to fine an internet cafe or WiFi location. Not
$2.00/min. Check the Digicel web site.
