WiFi

Cruisers' WiFi in Grenada - contact Rikky at De Big Fish 415-7569; debigfish@gmail.com for details.

An alternative to WiFi is a data bundle plan with Digicel. You can then use your smartphone as a WiFi hotspot for the rest of the crew, also link by USB to your own PC. Cruisers report this is much more cost effective than any of the WiFi services, and of course, is available throughout the islands that Digicel serves.

Digicel

Anyone cruising through the islands using Digicel should be aware that you cannot top up a sim from one island in another as used to be able to. So if for example, you want to use your Grenada sim while cruising north you should either put on a large enough sum to cover your needs or you can set up an account and do it online, but you cannot get it topped up in another island.

You can top-up Digicel at https://online-top-up.digicelgroup.com/

Cruisers report that Digicel connection works fine nearly everywhere (3G) with only Isle de Ronde and Tyrrel Bay, Tobago Cays, Mayreau, Union and Canouan getting 2G.

Remember to follow your Gb usage, or the money runs out quickly.

For more information visit the Digicel website.

You can visit Digicel or Flow stores once you arrive and organize data and phone access.
