·  If your current cell phone plan allows international calling and you will be using the phone you have on the island, make sure you turn international data roaming off. Even if you are not using the internet, you could potentially be charged high prices for costly international data.

·  Utilize Wi-Fi as much as possible, as data plans on Anguilla and St. Vincent tend to be expensive.

·  If you plan on purchasing a phone and SIM separately, make sure you check specifications for the SIM and phone before you purchase them to ensure  compatibility.

·  Top Up Cards are available at most grocery stores to add minutes/tests to existing cell services.

·  Some providers, like T-Mobile offer certain services outside the US and Canada like texting, check with your current provider before using your phone to avoid international charges or to add an international plan.[/color:2wog68jj]
