My wife and I purchased a 40' sailboat about 6 months ago and are ready for our first long trip, We plan to spend 2-3 months in the Florida keys and Bahamas--mostly the latter. Any suggestions on a reasonably priced ( I know cheap is out of the question ) phone and or data plans out there? Many thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. Also open to starting an ongoing exchange of experiences with any who have done or are doing similar trips. Get yourself the best plan for FL and/or wherever else you plan to cruise in the US and place it on hold when you head to the Bahamas. Buy an unlocked GSM phone for use in the Bahamas. You may be able to use the same phone as you used in the States. For example, T-Mobile utilizes GSM phones in the US. When you get to the Bahamas, purchase a SIM card from BATELCO and purchase minutes as you go along. I think that it's about $1.15/minute from the Bahamas to the US. -- Geoff www.GeoffSchultz.org Thanks Geoff, Any suggestions on data-ie internet Is there no wi-fi out there? Dennis. |
