Cells phones in Bermuda

Do you need to get a long distance carrier for Bermuda? If you turn your phone on will you get charged for roaming even when you aren't making a call? :)

How much you will be charged depends on who your cell phone carrier is and what type of phone you have. You will not be charged anything for just having your cellphone on if your phone is in airplane mode or if you turn data roaming off.

Each cell phone carrier is different. I was curious also and looked it up on my phone carriers site. I have sprint and I can buy a international talk text and data plan for the time I will be in Bermuda

If you have Verizon, Bermuda is a Travel Pass country. $10 will get you full access to your domestic plan's talk, text, and data. At $1.79 a minute for pay-as-you-go, even a short phone call will quickly make that worthwhile.

As already pointed out, simply having your phone on will not incur any charges.

If you have Project Fi (by Google) as your MNVO, international (cellular) roaming is just 20 cents a minute and SMS (texting) is free & covered by the plan, formerly international data roaming at 3G speed has been enhanced 10X to 20X faster, to 4G/HSPA+ speed (not quite as fast as LTE) at $10 USD per GB, billed to your Google Fi account.

Bermuda is recognized by part of the Caribbean islands - and, partner carrier is DigiCel.
