Verizon’s $10 / day travel pass option limits high speed data to .5gb, then it throttles WAY DOWN. They still call it unlimited, but you will feel the limit. Not sure if ATT has the same “fake unlimited”.

Are you talking about using binax for your return test? Just pay the 20 bucks and get the rapid test at the Atlantis. Results back within an hourI do not really care about WIFI. I have worked non stop for the past year and half and I have promised myself not to bring my laptop.(I’ll bring my work phone…)
also I am going to order the Binax self covid test compatible with United. But I have to hope I have a good wifi for this…I have TMobile so hoping that the signal is good using the 50$ global plan.
Thanks for this info. 5 devices for $92 is great. I have Sky Roam but it doesn’t cover the Bahamas.Chatted with Aliv customer support from www.bealiv.com. Here is the snapshot:
- Need to buy a SIM in a physical store in Bahamas for $50. They don't sell online (except from private seller in ebay).
- The SIM comes with a Prepaid plan called Freedom12 goods for 7 days with 2.5GB/100txt/100min.
- If you need more data/txt/min, you can add other prepaid plan such as the Freedom35 (7 days/unlimited data/txt/min) for $35 extra.
- Tethering is allowed and not limited to number of devices. But fair use policy is in place to prevent abuse.
- Total about $85 for 7 days unlimited plan.
Checked the pocketwifibahamas.com online store. Here is the snapshot:
- A device (some cell phone) is provided as rental $5.99/day rent (mandatory, can't just ask for a sim card to avoid the rental fee)
- Ready to use once arrived
- Connect up to 5 devices
- Add a plan such as the 7 days unlimited data/txt/min plan for $39.99
- Two way USPS shipping for $9.99 (delivery and return of the rental phone)
- Rental phone will be delivered approximate two days before the start of the rental period from 1st bullet.
- Rental phone much be postmarked two business day or less after the rental end day according to the rental period from 1st bullet or additional charge may apply.
- Total about $92 for 7 days unlimited plan.
Either one is still way better than the Harborside wifi plan especially when it is so unreliable and slow. I probably go with the pocketwifibahamas to save me from hunting down a sim card and going thru the activation process. If anything went wrong, cellphone company's support is never a satisfying experience.
Thanks again from all the lead provided regarding internet service at the Atlantis.
I have had Sky Roam for 6-7 years. When I started they covered 100 countries and when I checked this week, they are up to 130. But still no Bahamas.Thanks for the heads up about Skyroam. I just rented a unit understanding they were providing coverage in Bahamas. Even representative I talked to said they did, at first. Now need a backup WiFi plan for trip starting Saturday.
According to Aliv, here is the location of their retail stores in Bahamas. Store Locator - ALIV (bealiv.com) , but this may be only the stores they owned/franchised.Thanks for the heads up about Skyroam.

Where can I get an aliv SIM card?
