Bahamas: Data & Voice - any recent info?

I think Bahamas has only one mobile provider, Batelco. So, if you are only there briefly, just roam if your phone works there. Otherwise, just get the sim card when you get there. They use the 1900 band so you should be fine with your phones. Definitely do NOT get the sim from any of those online shops that charge a fortune for it.

The couple of times I have been there via a cruise ship stop, I used my international sim card.

I will be on a cruise. I have a OneSIM card but that is just voice and the rates are very expensive, not to mention the call-back complexity.

What international SIM do you have that would work well in this situation?
