The frequencies that BTC uses are: 850 and 1900 MHz for Voice; 850 MHz for HSPA+ (4G), and HSPA (3G) Data, and 700 MHz B17 for 4G LTE. Late model iPhones & Android smartphones work properly in the Bahamas. Make certain your phone is network unlocked. Canadian phones and Verizon 4G phones are already unlocked for international use. AT&T / T-Mobile phones require you contact your carrier to check for unlock status, and request unlock. We do offer a Dual Sim Nokia 6300 4G phone specially configured for use in the Bahamas with a hotspot button programmed on the handset. This is an excellent choice as a Boat Phone and hotspot device in one unit. The phone is available with and without a BTC sim included. A sim is required to make hotspot work.

Long stays are easy. Lets consider two scenarios.
1. 5 week stay using an Always On and a Combo Plan..
The 30 day 10GB Combo plans costs $60 and lasts 30 days.
Combo Plan Cost with Vat (12%) is $67.20.
5 weeks is 37 days.
You can order the sim and add $75 cash to the line. Upon activation the service starts with the 7 day Always On (Starter Plan) activated. At the end of 7 day Always On you can activate the 30 day Combo for $67.20. BTC system deducts $67.20 and the 30 Day Combo plan activates. The plan will auto renew every 30 days if you have sufficient cash loaded. You can check balance (*201#) to ensure you have sufficient cash loaded to your line.
2. 3 month stay using 15 GB data plan.
The 30 day 15GB data plan costs $39.20 and lasts 30 days.
Lets round that up to $40.
3 months is approximately 90 days.
You can order the sim and add $129 cash to the line. Upon activation the service starts with the 7 day Always On (Starter Plan) activated. At the end of 7 day Always On you can activate the 30 day data plan for $39.20. Upon activation the BTC system deducts $39.20 and the plan activates. The plan will auto renew every 30 days. As you come close to the 60 days on island you should check balance (*201#) to ensure you have sufficient cash to cover the second renewal. In this case the extra cash on the line is used for outbound calls and text messages so you will keep an eye on your balance to ensure you have enough cash for the auto renew.
At this point you have received your sim; you have completed online registration; you have sailed or flown to the Bahamas and are ready to activate service. Initial activation is accomplished by the addition of a refill pin or electronic topup to the line. This electronic topup triggers the Always On (Starter Plan) plan.
Each morning at MRSIMCARD, we look at daily activations. We will generate an electronic topup for your line on the morning of the activation day to start service on lines scheduled for activation. If your arrival date changes, please update your arrival date before currently scheduled activation date.
Insert the sim into the phone (let us assume an iPhone) and power on the phone. The phone comes alive and picks up the BTC Network. Confirm that the APN is set to "internet.btcbahamas.com". It should auto populate to your phone.
1. Confirm you have your EZ Cash loaded to the line by dialing *201# and press send.
Test your phone and enjoy.

Do you plan to visit Elbow Reef Lighthouse while in The Abacos. Please visit and support this amazing treasure which remains the only manned lightstation in the world which has not been electrified. Its lens is hand-wound by a keeper and it is fueled by kerosene.
