SRF Posted September 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Cost will depend on your carrier and you plan and any international plans you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeykat Posted September 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2018 The only place for wifi at port that I saw was the ice cream shop and it is very iffy at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythbuster Posted September 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Heading to Bermuda on the Anthem OTS...does Bermuda have accessible cell service and if so, how fast is it? It depends on your carrier, you need to call them. It will also depend on the plan you have with them. You may be able to get a temporary upgrade to get faster data. We have T-Mobile. With their T-Mobile one plan you get free 2G data service and free text messages. Calls are $.25/minute. If you have their One Plus plan you get 3G data. There are a few wifi hotspots but not that fast and, some are free and some are fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted September 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2018 My friend had international service on her cell phone and it worked just like home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTourist08 Posted September 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I used what artvlay was referencing; Verizon Travel Pass. Calls were slow to connect but I was able to text easily and make a few phone calls. Otherwise kept the phone in airplane mode the whole time.

Thirstday Posted September 10, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 10, 2018 We had cell service on TMobile and it worked just fine island wide (even on the beaches). However, we were only at 3G speeds because of our plan. Like already mentioned, it is good enough for texting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted September 10, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I have T-mobile and have used it in a lot of countries. 3G is fast enough to text, email, and use Google Maps. You will not be able to watch You Tube or NexFlix. At 2G, maps can take a while. But those are the MINIMUM speeds. It will depend on country and carrier. When you connect in a country for the first time, you will get a text with info on what you will get. In many countries, I get 4G or LTE speeds. Not all, but a number of them.

Charles4515 Posted September 10, 2018 #12 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Verdon has a plan for $10 a day. You need to contact them to activate AT&T also has the $10 a day travel passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmeed Posted September 10, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 10, 2018 AT&T also has the $10 a day travel passes. Related question. I looked at the list of countries for the AT&T Travel Pass and I don't see St. Thomas. It's a USVI. Do they not offer it or is it just part of the United States roaming plan? I also do not see Puerto Rico either. https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/international/global-countries.html#s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is regular domestic AT&T service that is included in your plan. Same with Puerto Rico. They have their own cell towers in US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
