Hey guy --
First, don't believe a single word that Cingular has to say about roaming in the Bahamas. I've been trying for years now to coordinate that
so-called agreement, and still cannot get Batelco and Cingular to get their acts together.
Your best bet will be to purchase a phone card at Batelco once you get to the island, and then use any of the public telephones ... at Batelco,
Valentine's, the bank et al. You can also rent cell phones from Batelco, but there's a $400 deposit for each phone. Your usage is billed against
the deposit. Check with Lisa Aranha, Batelco manager, at 242 333 2375 for more information.
For e-mail, of COURSE you may use the computer center. The hours vary according to everyone's schedule these days, but the place is usually
open from 3-9 every day except Sunday. If Amoury Company is coming in for training sessions, then the place will be open in the morning as
well. You can always check in with centre director Naomi Fowler once you get to the island, at 333-2030 [day] or 333-2718 [nighttime, and hard
to reach because of no voice mail]. The rates for online access are $1/4 minutes.
Hope this helps --
Kimberly
