Couple questions about sim card use in Aruba

2006-10-22, 3:33 pm

Hi,

I'm in the U.S., and I bought a couple of Italian TIM sim cards last
April to use in unlocked GSM tri-band phones during a trip to Italy -
they worked great !

Now, one of my friends who still has some time/money on her TIM sim
card is going to Aruba. I looked over the information from web sites
that describe the TIM card, and they only list rates for international
roaming in North America and Europe.

So my question : can you roam in Aruba with the Italian TIM sim card,
and if so, what is the rate ?

I know she can use her Verizon CDMA phone there (expensive), or get a
local sim card to use in the unlocked GSM tri-band phone she has, but
I'm wondering if the Italian card will work there also.

Second question: which local sim card in Aruba is better/easier/cheaper
to use, PRIMO or DIGICELL? Any others anybody would recommend ?

Thanks,
Linda
