Also forgot to ask what the best cell service carrier would be esp on the East End, would you say AT&T or Sprint?
Thanks again!

I've only had AT+T , - dont expect too much. You can be sitting in the same spot for a 20 min call and go from 3 bars to 1 bar and back to 3.

AT&T works pretty well- we just put in a booster - and it made a positive difference.

ATT for sure on the east end. Sprint doesn't work much past Cheeseburger's. ATT cuts off when you make the turn towards Pt. Udall.

We have great luck with ATT out East. About every 3 - 6 months there's a bad day, but they tend to clear up within 24 hours.

AT&T is best, but if there are problems it can take several days or a week for AT&T to resolve them. System is maintained out of Puerto Rico so if a tower goes down on the weekend it will be Tuesday before they get it fixed or even get someone over here to look at it.

It is not unusual to ave mutli day outages. You will need to use Skype or MagicJack when your cell service is down. BBVI's internet service is reliable so by using VOIP phone service you can still make and receive calls.

When AT&T's service is down I call them using my MagicJack and have them forward my cell phone number to my MagicJack connected phone.

I use GOOGLE's VOIP service when phones are down. Sometimes that's not so great either if internet is misbehaving.
