Cell phones usually work north of Tortola (especially on Jost Van Dyke), with at least reasonable roaming rates, due to the closeness to USVI cell towers on St. Thomas (which may override local cell service). Elsewhere, foreign cell phones can register by phone with a credit card for connections via Bmobile and CCT Boatphone.

Propane Fill at Delta Petroleum — Be advised that Delta Petroleum does not charge by the metered gallon of propane, but by the fill, so best take an empty tank. They are very friendly and accommodating. Fill you dinghy fuel tank at the same time! George
Re the comment above, substitute Wickhams Cay 2 for Marina Cay. We found Delta Petroleum but they did not have an adaptor to fill our Camping Gaz cylinder. However we then found out about Express Gass. You just call Thomas on 1-284-494-3766 or 443-1464 or 543-2401. He will pickup/dropoff anywhere in Road Harbour for $5 or Nanny Cay for $15 and will supply propane or butane. We had ours back in a couple of hours and very friendly service.
If you need propane, make your way from Marina Cay along the main highway towards the airport. About a third of a mile, and directly across from the Cash & Carry and Riteway stores is Delta Petroleum.
They fill on site from the back of the store on the corner of the building closest to the water. We filled a 20lb bottle on March 5th, 2014, for a cost of $25, and the attendant did it right away.
