If you are going to be in the Bahamas for some time, you might look into a cell phone rent from BaTelCo, you will have cell service pretty much all through the Exumas, and just about any other inhabited group of islands where there are towers. Lots of friends do this. Using yours with some kind of sim card, whatever, may be sketchy ... I have found my Verizon works in G'town, NAS and Marsh Harbour area, but that's about it and close to $2/minute, AT&T has better coverage. Last year we met folks who had a Kindle and were able to use that to download emails and weather, etc., use teh Internet, just about anywhere a tower was nearby ... I'm not sure about cost.
