When you get to the Bahamas go to the nearest Batelco office (they are everywhere) and buy a Bahamas SIM card for $13. Then you buy prepaid minutes as needed, usually in $20 increments. Batelco cell service is very good throughout the islands and costs a lot less than $1.39/minute. It doesn't work offshore. He's not sailing offshore, just island to island. Satellitephonestore.com. Iridium 9505A for $35/week and 120 minutes for $1.39/minute. This is more minutes than I EVER use any phone for in a month but I expect others to use it. My employees also sorta freak out if they cannot reach me so I promised em I'd get the sat phone. That's cheap! Thanks for the info! |
