Best Place To Buy a Sim Card

[Helmut]

Hello,
Anyone know of the best way or place to buy a SIM card(on the Island or online). I'm bringing down my unlocked quad band cell phone this Fall. The rates back to US seem to be around 35 cents/min back to the US. Thanks!

There are some kiosks at the airport which seems to have good deals -
SIM cards with minutes. If you want to go somewhere near the high
rises - there is a SETAR office right by the McDs

Any additional input from you veterans?

Ditto what lizzardo said. Outside the terminal after baggage claim there is the Fast Fhone kioski. You can buy a SIM card there. Digacel is inside the terminal. If you have time, I would buy it there. The SETAR office in Palm Beach is next to Brickell Bay Hotel (behind Hooters, Behihana). That place is usally always very busy. Sometimes I have waited an hour there. In the same strip as Wendy's by the roundabout (coming from the airport, before the supermarkets), there is a Digicel store.

I used Digicel(I think it was digicel - I get confused) at the airport. The contact there was great - she emailed me my Aruba phone number about a week and a half prior to my arrival in Aruba. Made it easy to get the # out to any emergency contacts at home. I bought a $20 card and it last me 12 days with medium usage back to the US.
