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.

Yes, Webflex is cheapest from USA but system is sometimes glitchy (not working when I just tried this link)

This link usually is more reliable:

Since BMD=USD, this is only US$10 for a BMD$10 card (plus credit card foreign currency coversion surcharge of 1 to 5 percent; not all credit cards have this surcharge).

Two other USA alternatives are Telestial:

Or Ezetop:

Likely others I'm not aware of...

Of course if you're in a Caribbean country with Digicel coverage, you can buy vouchers anywhere you see the red Digicel logo (if at a Digicel official dealer outside Bermuda, remember to tell them to key in your Digicel number as "1 441" (not 441) on their sales computer).

Or you can just sell the sim card on the forum, and buy a new one on your next trip to Bermuda.
