I will be traveling to the Cayman Islands next year from the US where I use a pre-paid T-Mobile (unlocked, original Motorola RAZR) phone. From the answer to this question about T-Mobile in the US Virgin Islands it appears from the T-Mobile International Roaming Charges I could roam the Caymans for $2.39/minute.

What cheaper options for voice/text would be available for me in the Cayman Islands?

There are 2 main companies on Grand Cayman that offer pre-paid SIM cards.

  1. Flow
  2. Digicel

Each of these companies have stores all over the place.

On a random basis I went with Flow and paid $KYD12 ($US16) for a SIM card with $KYD10 of credit, and was in and out of the store in under 5 minutes. Good service all over the island, but I suffered receiving 1 or 2 text messages every day pushing various deals for topping up the SIM.

In the end I actually only made 1 phone call with the Flow SIM and in hindsight it would have actually have been cheaper to use my pre-paid T-Mobile roaming. However YMMV.
