Your St Vincent & the Grenadines Digiflex SIM card has an initial airtime credit of 25 EC ($9 USD) which includes 10 EC preloaded on the SIM and a 15 EC airtime voucher. Additional credit is available through the purchase of airtime or FLEXtime vouchers, as they are referred to locally, not another SIM card, in St Vincent & the Grenadines. Airtime vouchers are available locally in St Vincent and the Grenadines at convenience stores, Digicel shops and authorized dealers and any hawker on the street shouting: "Get your phone cards!" FLEXtime airtime vouchers are available for:
- 15 EC ($5.60 USD)
- 25 EC ($9 USD)
- 40 EC ($15 USD)
- 70 EC ($26.20 USD)
Simply scratch off the gray protective layer to reveal your voucher code. When punched into the keypad of your international cell phone, the voucher code will credit your SIM card the respective EC (Eastern Caribbean Dollar) denomination you purchased.
Remember: Do not purchase another SIM ship when your airtime credit is depleted! You only need a recharge voucher! Your incoming calls are always free even when you run out of airtime. |

Sometimes a payphone takes coins (But how many is anybody's guess!!!), other times a proprietary calling card and still others only a credit card will do with accompanying instructions that would take a week to understand.
