    I believe you can now get SIM cards at the airport at the internet access
    store in the lobby of the airport. You can also buy them at Roatan
    Wireless in Coxen Hole and I believe there is also a pharmacy in West End
    that sells them. I used my GSM phone with Megatel and had no problems.
    Coverage was very good in West End and West Bay. With Megatel (not sure
    about CelTel) you do have the ability to configure the voice mail to work in
    either English or Spanish. I also tried to roam with my US cell number but
    at that time was not able to do so. I was told that this has been fixed but
    have not been able to verify it.

    Subject: [roatan] Cell Phones
    I have a gsm quad band cell phone that includes the 850 and 1900
    frequencies in use in Honduras. I understand that I just need to buy a
    sim card in Roatan to get local rates. I spoke to:

    http://www.celtel.net/ They said the sim card is $5.00 and incoming
    calls are free and outgoing are 25 cents/min and they use the 850
    frequency.

    http://www.megatel.hn/gsm.htm said they use the 1900 frequency.
    Can anyone confirm where to get local sim cards and if there is a
    choice which service to go with? I am not interested in AMPS or CDMA
    prepaid cards just GSM.
