Pre Paid roaming

UTS roaming service gives you the ability to make and receive calls outside Chippieland ( the Islands of Bonaire, Curaçao, St. Maarten, French St. Martin, St. Kitts & Nevis and Surinam). Whether you go to the United States or Europe, South America or the Pacific region, you can be reached on your own mobile number through international voice and data roaming available on international GSM/DAMPS networks.

To ensure availability of our roaming services based on the right frequencies, please be sure to check the details of the country you are visiting to ascertain whether your wireless device will operate there. As we continuously launch service with additional carriers, we will update our list of available countries/carriers.

Your family and friends at home can easily contact you through your regular UTS mobile number without using a country code. You are able to control your spending at all times by determining the available prepaid balance on your phone/device.
The minimum balance needed to place a call is NAf. 5.

Receiving call or SMS

The caller pays local tariff in the Netherlands Antilles. You pay the international rate applicable for calling the country you are staying at. When you receive a SMS, the sender pays local tariff in the Netherlands Antilles.
