My Sprint sevice works pretty well. It's dead in places, but that will be the case with every provider. The only wierd thing is that it can be on digital one minute and roaming analog another, even in exactly the same place. With the rate plan I have, there is no roaming fee, so it really doesn't matter to me. If you are charged extra for roaming, then it could become a big deal.

Ditto on Sprint. We spent two weeks there in September and never lost a call. Clarity was great, and long distance to the States is free.

Hello,
Sprint works well for me also. Like stt said some areas you lose signal but I have used two other providers here and they too had no-signal areas. Also the Sprint nationwide plan allows you to use it throughout the USA within their network without long distance charges or extra fees.

Hello Larry,
Your sprint phone should work - I have used mine on St. Croix without problems. I lost signal in some far out areas but otherwise worked fine.

Does anyone have any experience with AT&T Wirless on St. Croix? It worked fine on St. John the past May and I'm hoping it will work on all three islands.
Thanks!
