Lv2sail Posted May 3, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Does anyone know if Verizon cell phone service is available in Bermuda? Will I be able to "phone home"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Esq Posted May 4, 2006 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Do I need to set things up with Verizon in advance, or will it be automatic? I have the traditional USA plan. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Esq Posted May 4, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I found the answer on the Verizon April 20th posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lv2sail Posted May 4, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Your referral to April 20th Verizon post leaves me clueless. Could you let me know the thread? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lthouselady Posted May 4, 2006 #7 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Per my conversation with Verizon Wireless yesterday... You can use your cell to 'phone home' at .69/min, however, you need to call them first and ask them to add an international plan to your phone. There is no charge for this plan.

Cruise Esq Posted May 5, 2006 #8 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I must have fixed on a post of that date, but that is the thread. I am leaving Saturday May 6 on the Zenith. I called Verizon and confirmed the 69 cent rate. I spoke with someone else that is going, but has a different cell carrier, and his company charges $1.99 min for Bermuda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbenson81 Posted May 7, 2006 #10 Share Posted May 7, 2006 And how much per minute Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisces223 Posted May 8, 2006 #11 Share Posted May 8, 2006 T-Mobile is $1.49 a minute. When I was in Cancun, I had already set it up for International use. So, that was a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vparrish Posted May 9, 2006 #12 Share Posted May 9, 2006 When we were there Sept 04, we were able to use our Verizon phones. However, you cannot call anyone in Bermuda, nor they you (at least that was our experience). We could call home (Maryland). My suggestion is to check w/Verizon to see what service is current now. Things change all the time..... We're going again this Sept on NCL our of NYC. Can't wait. Bermuda is wonderful! vparrish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
