Wonder if temporarily suspended will wind up being permanently closed....

Think a $10 or $20 calling card from a Bermudian vending machine or a supermarket used at a payphone is the easiest and most reliable solution. Plus they usually have nice pictures on them that make good souvenirs. Last time I was there I think I made two brief United Mobile calls when I got in (one because of a torrential downpour that I didn't want to venture out for a calling card for in), and one Iridium satphone call. Everything else was on a $10 prepaid calling card I bought at a vending machine at the mall by the Royal Naval Dockyards. Worked like a charm at payphones and lasted the whole week. Granted a payphone isn't as trendy as a mobile phone

Might buy a Digicel prepaid sim card for a trip to Grenada and the Grenadines later this year that I might use on a future trip to Bermuda (since usable anywhere within the Digicel network). Not really an international prepaid sim card because Digicel prepaid roaming is more restrictive than their postpaid plans, but think good for travel in Caribbean/Bermuda and has bells and whistles like optional GPRS.
