Exuma

[G4G5]

Anyone have any luck with cell phone service in Exhuma?

 

[jeroom]

Nop... no luck anywhere in the exumas....
Only a few places where it's working for me (Marsh harbor, freeport, nassau, north eleuthera, treasure cay I think too)..

The last plane I flew had a Bahamian cell phone we kept on board that worked fine there. I think you need a GSM cell phone to work there. I don't know much about cell phones though.

My cingular phone worked there. They have a new agreement with some bahamanian phone company now.

I thought that Cingular might work but I wanted to check.

BTC, the Bahamas telephone company has a reciprocal arrangement with Cingular. I knew it worked in Freeport but I was not sure about Exuma.

I called the Four Seasons and they told me that it would not work, that's why I was a bit confused

Not to highjack the thread here but diesel,whats up with the scandinavian logo??

Just a little nod to the motherland.

Cingular does, Sprint does not. I don't know about the rest.

No cell? No problem. Get on the internet and use skype.com

I wish it was that simple, the hotel we are staying at doesn't have broadband.

You ever stay at the hilton nassau. It's got broadband but a pretty cool way of doing it. They give you abox that plugs into a normal AC power outlet. I wish more hotels would do it. It's fast too.

You're scaring me here G4G5... beautiful beachs nearby, golf courses nearby, rum available in adequate quantity, some lonely thing in a bikini must be vacationing there and you're lookin for... cell phones and broadband? Tell the boss...when he finds you.... it takes 12 hours to get ready. It's an island thing!
