Please be sure to read these instructions prior to departing for Grenada. If you're consulting your phone's user guide, please defer to the instructions below with regard to the use of your Grenada SIM card. (Phone manuals are written in general terms.) |
 |
Requirements: A GSM cellular phone with no service-provider lock. If you are unsure whether your phone is locked or not, test it with a SIM card from a service provider other than your own. The phone must be capable of functioning in the 900 and 1800 MHz GSM band. (More bands are ok.) Note: This SIM card is incompatible with the Ericsson R520 phone.
Your 7-digit Grenada SIM Card Cell Phone Number: The Grenada SIM card is enclosed in an envelope (containing your Grenada Cell Phone number, security PIN and PUK) which is locally referred to in Grenada as a "Flex Pack".
Dialing information: Grenada is part of the North American Numbering Plan. In order for people to call your Grenada cell phone number from the US and Canada, they dial as if they are dialing a number in another area code. They would dial 1-876 plus the 7-digit phone number. To call back to the US, one dials 1 + the desired area code and phone number. Keep this in mind when programming phone numbers into your phone's address book, and please be sure to inform anyone who has your Grenada cell phone number as to the proper dialing sequence in order to ensure you receive your calls.
To call the UK or another non-North American address, you would dial 011 followed by the country code and the number. (Just as if you were calling from the US!)
Important: Most US toll free numbers are not accessable from overseas. Be sure to get valid international numbers prior to your departure.
What are the dialing instructions between Digicel mobiles and landlines?
When dialing from landlines to Digicel numbers, simply put one (1) before the seven digits of the Digicel number you would like to dial. When dialing from a Digicel Mobile to any landline within Grenada, simply dial all seven digits of the number you are trying to reach. When dialing to toll free numbers, one should dial 1-888-toll free number.

Adding Talk Time:
Additional call credit can be added by purchasing Digicel FLEXcard recharge cards. They are sold in denominations of EC $15 ($5.60 USD), $25 ($9 USD), $40 ($15 USD) and $70 ($26 USD) at tobacco shops, magazine kiosks and any convenience store displaying the Digicel logo. You can also locate your nearest vendor by calling customer service. Even if you have zero credit - since incoming calls are always free - you will still be able to receive calls.
Once you have purchased a recharge card, simply follow these easy instructions:
- Simply scratch off the grey protective layer to reveal your voucher code
- Dial *121*VOUCHER NUMBER from your own mobile phone and press <send>
- Follow the instructions you hear to enter the code number

Your FLEXcards have the following expiratory dates: $15 expires after 30 days; $25 expires after 45 days; $40 expires after 60 days; $70 expires after 90 days. If you do not use the full value of your FLEXcard within this period, you have an additional 60 days in which you can top-up your account. Any remaining credit on the phone will be added to your new top-up amount. However, if you exceed the 60 days, your SIM will be cancelled and you will need to purchase a new one to continue service with Digicel.
