Hi everyone,
We are flying to SXM on November 22nd and we are so excited we can hardly stand it. Thanks to everyone for your wonderful trip reports and pictures - we will respond in kind when we get to the island.
Question for you very savvy SXM travelers:
We're from Canada and our country has some of the most expensive cellular service in the world. It's absolutely outrageous and there is nothing we can do about it with a Federal Government seeming to side with the cellular bandits. In the past few years we have "bit the bullet" and paid their 10 dollar a day fee on top of the hundreds of dollars we already give them every month for the right to use our phones on the island. I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for us about getting a SIM card and buying service time that we can forward our phones to or anything else you might be doing to remain connected to your home country? We have elderly relatives and few work issues that we'll have to keep an eye on while we're away and need phone service for peace of mind.
Does anyone else have these issues and if so, what have you done? Years ago we used to rent a phone from Sharon but like I said, it's been years.
Can you help us out with some suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Teresasxm
