I have been using my Honduras cell phone in USA on every trip. I
bought a Pay-as-you-go chip from T-Mobile and maintain a pay-as-you go
phone number by occasionally adding to the balance on the T-Mobile
account by credit card or buying a card and entering the code on the
card. If you start off with a $100 balance in T-Mobile and top it up
from time to time you won;t loose a single minute between visits.
It is easy then to just swap out the chip while you are in the air and
presto you have instant service in either country and a separate
permanent telephone number in each country with voice mail. Your
contacts are stored on each chip so when you get to USA, all of USA
phonebook contact you entered from the last trip are immediately
available. When you swap back to TIGO on approach to Toncontin you will
have immediate access to your Honduras phonebook when you turn on your
phone. If you are gone a long time buy an extra TIGO (or CLARO) card
before you leave Honduras so you can reactivate your TIGO account upon
return to Toncontin and reclaim your TIGO minutes.
If you want you can even access your USA voice mail from Honduras via
the myriad of inexpensive options mentioned in this group the past week
or two. I don;t know if T-Mobile is best price per minute or reception,
but it works just fine for me at about 7 cents a minute in US. (if you
buy a bigger chunk of minutes from T-Mobil they give you a lower per
minute rate),
