Verizon cell/smart phone service

We'll be there on the island in less than two months. How is Verizon cell/smartphone service on the island? Or is it pretty much non-existent?

No, you can get service. It's just expensive. I believe it's $1.99 or so a minute roaming, but texts are ok.

It is not there. All Verizon service is roaming, using other carriers towers. Use in STT is not included in any package, you will pay standard international roaming charges.

My wife and I own a second home in St. John, VI--ATT is the dominate carrier there because they treat calls like you were i the continental USA--Local and calls to the mainland are included in your normal plan.
