Warm-Water Diver Posted January 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I've read that AT&T has sold their network to Liberty in the USVI. I've also read that as long as you are roaming off the Liberty signal there would be no charge and is included for now. Some users state that they were charged went they switched to a tower off local nearby BVIs which are very close to STT in many areas on the island. Main question: Does the latest iPhones let you know what tower/carrier-signal you are connected to when roaming?? If not I see a major problem in not knowing who you're connected too and getting a big cellular/data bill when you return back to the states from your cruise.

Ms411 Posted January 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2023 AT&T considers USVI as stateside so calls don't roam to BVI towers except maybe on the far east end of St John. I always turn off roaming on my phones so it can't use other towers. You should be able to use all the features of your phone just as if you were back home.

Rare Fa-Li Posted January 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I've only accidentally picked up roaming charges on St John, never St. Thomas. However, to cover yourself, just go onto your ATT account and activate the foreign day pass option. Then at most you will only be charged $10 for a 24 hour period of roaming.

blue_water Posted January 14, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Our ATT service includes US and her territories (and Mexico & Canada) and you should not have a problem. It’s always best to look at your service details too… Edited January 14, 2023 by blue_water Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
