Answer 1

I rented a phone, it was really cheap, and the last time I bought a new SIM card for my phone, and used it, that was also cheap, here's the link to the place I used.

You can rent a phone. The cost of renting a phone for one week is $15.00 with no time put on the phone in advance.  Additional weeks are $10.00 each & additional days are $3.00 each.  You can choose to put on as much or as little time on the phone as you feel you may need.  You can put on as little as $5.00 (16 minutes) or nothing if that is what will meet your needs since all incoming calls are free to you.   The rate to call the US is .32 per minute, Canada .48 per minute, Dutch side .34 per minute, French side .30 per minute with all billing done in 1 second increments.  These are only a sampling of the rates since these phones can be used to call anywhere in the world.    All incoming calls are free to you with only the caller paying.  I provide you with the phone, charger, car charger & a carrying case.  Additional phone cards can be purchased at many locations on the Dutch side including all the gas stations should you need them.  There are also many locations now on the French side where you can buy additional time.  My carrier has more locations for buying extra time than any other carrier on the island.  We can also send additional time to your phone upon request from you in just a matter of seconds regardless of where you are & no other carrier or rental service can do this for you.

Here is the link. Sharon Harris is very reliable. She will give you the cell phone number before arriving on island. You can give this number to your family ahead of time.Everyone uses Sharon.
