cell phone rental question

tam5 · 10-16-2009, 01:53 PM

Would like to rent a cell phone in Aruba. Does anyone have infomation on aruba discount cell or aruba fast phone? Aruba discount cell seems cheaper but I haven'seen any comments on this company. Do they really send the phones to your hotel? If so is the phone waiting for you on your arrival? thanks for any info.

You can pick up and then drop off the phone right at the airport.
They will send you your cell phone number before you arrive on the island.

I use Aruba Discount Cell...used them last year and will be using them again this Sunday for 2 weeks. Very happy with them and cheaper than Fast Phone, although I've heard great things about Aruba Fast Phone too. Discount will deliver the phone to your hotel and pick it up as well.

Aruba fast phones is great - I like that they send me the # prior to the start of my trip and the fact they are right in the airport.

I get a SIM card for a phone I own when in Aruba.

I have a SIMS card I bought from Setar and have my own number (same one year after year) I just buy minutes. Pop the SIMS card in my own cell and I am good to go!!

The SIM I bought was a digicel I think - they told me it expires if I dont use it for 3 months.

Do most of you just buy the sim card in Aruba? I've looked online to try to pre-order it (the Setar Primo card), but it is out of stock on every site that I go to.
