As I fly my plane into North Eleuthera, I need to talk with US Customs by phone prior to re-entering US airspace. This has often been difficult, and once I had to land at Marsh Harbour just to make a phone call! Batelco says they are maxed out and are not putting in more capacity.

Rod,
I always airfile with Nassau Radio with Advise Customs in the remarks. Then when in radio range of Miami Radio over Freeport I have them advise customs again. Not saying not to get a phone, but I have done this about 10 or 15 times with no trouble yet.
