Mike,
I use Verizon (no GSM). Last time I tried it in the Berry Islands (Great Harbor actually) it did not work at all. This was about 3 years ago. I was in Nassau 2 years ago and it did not work there either. I just returned from Nassau about 2 months ago but unfortunately I never even tried it. My friend that I fly to the Bahamas with uses Cingular (don't know if it is GSM or not) and it works fantastic on both islands. He is on the phone all the time over there filing flight plans, etc.

My wife and I both use Verizon. Up until last year there was no service on Grand Bahama Island. Last year her phone worked there and mine didn't.
Friends of mine went to Cay Sal Bank a month ago and Sprint-Nextel/Verizon nada...the GSM phones in the group did work.
Cheers.

Agreed - the service and reception are excellent w/ Cingular but the per min charge was something like $3 in the Bahamas- you may be able to upgrade to a different plan - I just watched the min. used.Mike,
