The BVI's have several local phone companies (Lime, C&W Boatphone, Digicell) providing island cell phone service. Understand that you can easily use this service with your USA-based cell phone almost anywhere on the island but it will cost up to $5 per min in roaming charges. To avoid this you can use a local land line phone that permits you to use "USA Direct", (1-800-872-2881) which has considerably lower per minute charges for calls to the USA. If you have a computer or cell phone that can access wi-fi, most bars, restaurants and resorts have free Internet so you can use VOIP such as Skype or Google voice for inexpensive "phone calls" anywhere in the world. If you have a US-based cell carrier and it is available in the US Virgin Islands, another trick is to find a location that faces St. Thomas or St John, USVI (west end of Tortola or locations where St Thomas / St John is in sight). There is a good chance you can pick up your US carrier on your cell phone and avoid the BVI's local carrier's roaming charges. You may have to manually force your cell phone search and register with your US carrier. Double check that your cell phone is connected to the US carrier before you call.
