Luna'sMom Posted May 24, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Sorry if this has been answered before but do Verizon service cell phones work in Bermuda. The last time I was in Bermuda(1999) I had AT & T and it did not work. I would like to be able to stay in touch with home . Thanks for your help.

brideoct12 Posted May 24, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I went to Bermuda 2 years ago and I believe I tried to turn my phone on once but had no signal. Voyager 5/30/04 NJ to Canada Zenith 10/19/02 NY to Bermuda(honeymoon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingirls Posted May 24, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I have Cellular One service and it worked two weeks ago in Bermuda. Sorry I can't help you with Verizon...but if it does work, plan to spend a fortune on those calls! You will be better off buying a calling card when you get to Bermuda and using the pay phones at the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngs Posted May 24, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2004 If you have an international plan (with any provider) it will work but I can't imagine the extra cost is worth it just for a week or so. Also, like cruisingirls mentioned, the cost will knock you out. The calling cards suggestions are a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzdogg Posted May 24, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 24, 2004 We had both Verizon and AT &T phones with us. Unforunately, they use a difference system then we do some they do not work. Recommend that you buy a calling card and use one of the phones just off the dock. norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna'sMom Posted May 25, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Did you buy the calling cards in Bermuda or did you buy them before you went?

cruisingirls Posted May 25, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I bought them in Bermuda. They sell them right at the dock. I don't believe that cards purchased in the US will work in Bermuda. HOWEVER, if you do not use all the time on your card while in Bermuda-their cards will work in the US and Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlexprt Posted May 25, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I have verizon service and to my surprise the phone DID work in Bermuda.I went back in April and had no problem using the cell phone.Quite a pleasant surprise since last year I went with an AT&T phone and it did not work. Also I made 3-4 phones calls while there for an average of 5 mins each and it cost me $10.00 in roaming charges.
