Bahamas: Data & Voice - any recent info?

davidtheprof · 10-03-2013, 20:00

well, no more responses on the Bahamas, and we're off this week. Looks like Truphone has best rates among my sims, $1.66/min, and will use roamline in We3G mifi thingie for data, at Euro 0.89/MB.
Mostly, beach or wifi at those prices!

Update on Bahamas:
Roamline didn't work at all

Truphone: couldn't use phone, contacted their customer service who got back quickly to say that you have to use call-back protocol, *100*plus number
Their website doesn't mention this! But it did work....
Data also worked. Rates turned out more reasonable than I had feared.

Piranha: worked for phone, though very expensive; but no data (and they don't claim to offer data there).

Roamline update: Bahamas (and Barbados) seem to have dropped from their list of covered countries in the last 2 weeks...
