Have a Digicel Bermuda prepaid sim card. Note that these can be kept alive by using credit card internet refill (go through the Jamaica rather than Bermuda Digicel website and click on WebFlex); only BD$10 has to be added every 60 days. Digicel refill vouchers from other countries in other currencies can also be loaded and convert to the proper currency (I did this in Union Island in the Grenadines).
Can be used at decent rates on any Digicel network in the Caribbean, although call-back prepaid sims can sometimes be cheaper in some countries (excluding Bermuda, where local prepaid sims are cheaper than United Mobile call back sim or US postpaid regular sim chip roaming).
Very interesting to know. Do you think Jamaica is the cheapest way to fill? I'd definitely be interested in keeping it alive for future trips.
