This will be our first trip to Bonaire this weekend at Sand Dollar. Can you help us with these questions?

You need to go to see Michael at Chat N' Browse right after the traffic circle on the left (seaside) next to Lovers Ice Cream and rent one.

Thanks Marge, I just read on another post that my AT&T phone will work with Digicel (sp?), of course with roaming costs!

You can buy minutes cheap once on island. My calls home totaled $4 US.

Where on the island do you buy minutes for an AT&T phone?

You can get wifi in your room at sand dollar, though I can't remember the exact price. Chat & Browse, which is only steps away from Sand Dollar also has wifi.

Many folks find it more economical to just rent a cell phone from Michael at Chat n Browse than use their "home" one.

Hi Ken and welcome to BT. My wife and I are owners at Sand Dollar. Randy is right in that Bari Reef is an excellent dive right out front of SD with easy entry from the DBA pier. Bari is also a fun easy night dive. We have rented a phone from Michael at Chat with no problems, and for the first time later this year we plan to bring our laptop and use him for wireless. All rooms at SD have a safe that can fit a laptop and other valuables.

The probability of wifi working from your room at Sand Dollar this year is near 0 (very low signal strength); but is still available (as I sit now across a table from Michael), out in front of Chat'n'Browse & Sand Dollar Grocery.

Thanks for the info Chet. I had hoped since I was in A building that would not be the case as I have this image of sitting on the patio & surfing the net. Have to contact Michael on other stuff so will add this to the list.

The wifi at Sand Dollar is a heartbeat away from working but management has been dragging their collective feet in allowing me to remedy the situation.

Michael, I thought the WiFi was up and running at SD, my mistake and thanks for the information. Please email me privately if I can help with this situation.

It has been a constant problem with all the competing signals lately...I will explain when I see you...
