What are students supposed to do for cell phones regarding communication with each other as well as keeping in contact with home? I have heard a lot of rumors and was not sure what is true. I've heard options including phones that can be purchased on the island. I've heard that SIM cards are brought from home are cut to be compatible with local networks. Finally I've been told that MagicJack is an option for unlimited calling to the U.S. for both landlines and cell phones. I am also not sure which phone networks would work on the island. Could someone knowledgeable with phones and phone options please clarify this issue, please? I'd hate to get to the island and be stuck with a bad phone situation and no solution. Thank you.
