You might have to buy a local SIM card. We were just there and have ATT Cingular. We had a signal but couldn't get on the network. The local wireless is Digi Cel and you can buy SIM cards for them before you go from www.ustronics.com Your phone has to be unlocked and be at least a tri-band.

ATT Cingular has been taken over locally by Digicel but there is also Cable and Wireless BMobile

check the Vodafone website and see if you have roaming in Barbados.. It looks like you likely do.. but check it before you go..

I have vodafone and was there in December and again in April. Both times, my phone worked fine.
As said, just make sure that you have a tri-band (or even quad-band) phone.
