Sint Maarten Travel Forum

Hi. I live in NY and I currently have a cell phone with Verizon service. I was told by Verizon that I would not be able to use my cell phone while vacationing in St Maarten since it is not on a digital network. Is there a way for me to rent a cell phone for use while I am away for that one week? I need to keep in contact with my family in the U.S. while I am on vacation, but I do not need the phone for daily use. There are certain things that I need to check on while I am gone, and it would best be done by phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

If you have a GSM phone, your may take it along with you,
once u get there, you can purchase a Prepad GSM Chip.
I paid about 60$ for with 40$ worth of prepaid time.
When i left, i just re-sole it to someone.

Your may contact the telephone company for more information:

My boyfriend had a signal on his Verizon phone, but he didn't actually use it as it was roaming. As roaming it would have cost a lot to use it.
