It depends on what islands you are referring to. We did the eastern route in February on the Radiance and our cell phone's worked fine in St.Thomas, but not in St. Maarten. It should also be noted that we are Canadian, I think the American cell phone service allows calls from more islands than Canadian cell phone service.....

If your cell phones don't work you can buy prepaid calling cards everywhere you go, and they will work in the pay phones.
