AT&T counts St Thomas the same as Texas with no extra charges. Borrow an AT&T phone from a friend and leave your Verizon phone at home.

Although I can't speak for AT&T, I would check the AT&T website, because it says something entirely different.

Thanks so much for the information...I just called Verizion yesterday to ask and they told me all were free. I can see whoever I talked to didn't state $1.99 a minute for voice. We are also going to San Juan, Puerto Rico I assume the same applies.

I think the confusion comes from whether or not the agent understands that you are traveling to St. Thomas. If you are not traveling, just calling from the US to St. Thomas, then there is no charge. Since you are traveling and on a roaming partners network, that's why there is an extra charge for the phone calls. Puerto Rico actually is all considered domestic. See the pictures again! The first one is where most of the agents I feel are getting confused, the second shows the rates while in Puerto Rico.

I actually work for Verizon and the information you have is correct. The cost per minute for a phone call is $1.99 per minute. Texting/Data is considered domestic and no extra charge. See the picture! You can check the rates for all of you trips at http://www.verizonwireles.com/global
