Eastern Caribbean SIM experience -
10-06-2014, 20:40
Just returned from a cruise to St. Marten, St. Kitts, San Juan and Grand Turk. Took my Telnamobile SIM as well as my Mobal and my US carrier SIM is Sprint... Unfortunately I left my Piranha SIM at home. Not sure it would have made much of a difference if they are still using Telna's infrastructure...???
I'll preface this experience with the following words before the, “Why don’t you just use T-mobile?” crowd start their common chant... Unfortunately for one main reason, making the switch just does not make sense for me (at least at this time). I only go out of the US for maybe a week or two for an entire year so I don't see the financial benefit at the moment. Maybe if Sprint and T-Mobile ever do hook up, it'll make more sense to make the change St. Marten:
What I found most interesting is that Telna (known), Mobal and Sprint (all three) did not have service on the Dutch side of the island... All SIMs showed “Emergency Calls Only”... Yep, rebooted phone, changed phones and forced it manually to carriers... No dice on the south side of the island... St. Kitts:
San Juan: Only used Sprint in San Juan as Puerto Rico is 'on network' for them. LTE there worked GREAT! Grand Turk:
