Keeping In Touch

I brought my tired old LG cell phone with me but had it ‘unlocked’ before I came. This enabled me to remove my ATT Sim card and replace it with one from the local cell provider here. I’ve set up my account with ATT so when I return home, I just swap the cards and will have my original number activated again.  In Antigua I signed up as a pay as you go customer with LIME, otherwise known as Cable and Wireless. The rates are pretty good and you can ‘Top Up’ your account in most roadside stores, supermarkets as well as online. Coverage on the island is excellent as many of the hills are topped by cell towers.  Being a very English place, phones here are not called ‘cell phones’ but simply ‘mobiles’ as in “I’ll give you a ring on your mobile after work.”
