hello all

I will be on stt for about 5 days and plan to go to st john and snorkel and just laze around and enjoy the scenery. I have t-mobile phone service and my friend has cingular. Will we be able to use our phones to keep in touch when we seperate.
I have seen no mention on t-mobile service

Friends who came to visit had T-mobile and were able to use their phones. I think they roamed into another carrier, though.
Cingular should work- we have Cingular down here.

I would call TMobile to see if the islands will be included in your nationwide plan. Typically they are not and it will cost you a fortune in roaming charges. I used to have Verizon and thats what happened to me on my house hunting trip, MAJOR roaming charges. Although I did give them call when I got the bill and said wait I have Free roaming nationwide and coverage that covers ALL of the US and the Virigin Islands are US islands. They gave me a credit without too much hassle.

Cingular and Sprint are the two major ones that include the VI in their nationwide calling plans so your buddy should be all set.

Enjoy your visit
