I would say dial it like you were using Skype... ...and... If you do not get the international Data Plan. Phone calls are expensive. They let you know via a text message when you connect when you land and also when you move between Dutch/French sides. Without the plan text messages received are $.05 each and text messages sent are $.50 each.
If you go over your allotment, Verizon will automatically add more for the same charges. 10 bucks for any day you use it...no surprises...use data/calling according to your home plan. Not a bad deal and just get everything done in a 24 hour time frame..rinse and repeat as needed

If you have the 10.00 a day service why leave it in airplane mode?? If you took the phone out of airplane mode on arrival (assuming there WAS service) every time you got a text/email you would be charged $10/day for that day. Makes more sense to only take it out of airplane mode on a day you need it. All your texts will then arrive and you can makes your calls. Then return it to airplane mode until needed again. It's $10/day only on the days it is used not a blanket $10/day

Joe,
'Sharon' aka Queen of St. Maarten is a sponsor here and all her information including rates and explainations can be found in her add on the St. Martin TTOL Sponsor page which can be accessed in the TTOL banner above.
She's great to do business with and her phones are easy to use and inexpensive when you think of the convenience.
Respectfully,
pat
