Thank you I am glad your son is back and enjoyed his time there. I hear only good things so fingers crossed he has a good experience too!
last comment I see is from 2020...is there anybody out there?
LOL
Hi KathyA, Thanks for the info. My son is also on our cspire plan. I will sure be downloading that app. I’m a little sad that he won’t get to come home to visit before he leaves for 3 years, but maybe he will get to come home sometime while he is on the ship from there, but we are excited for this opportunity for him to experience the world.
Hi Patty, my son is on our family AT&T cell plan. We communicate by both talk and text through What's App (no roaming or international charges). Best of luck to your son (and you!) on his new adventure!
My son will be leaving for Bahrain in the fall. Should he take his cellphone with an international plan, or is it cheaper to just buy a prepaid phone at the nex?

Hey Moms! Just wondering if anyone has a more recent update on things on base at Bahrain. My son leaves today, and like so many, I have more questions than answers! If anyone can update how things are done, I would certainly appreciate any information. Thanks!!
My son arrived in Bahrain on Halloween. Really enjoying this new and strange place. So relieved to find all the American restaurants. My packages are getting to him in about 10 days. Wi-fi is a bit shady but getting to talk w/ him quite a bit using Whats App. So far, he's happy and healthy. Hope you all had a blessed Christmas and are looking forward to this new year. Keep me in your prayers, my younger son leaves for Marine boot camp in 16 days. Feeling a bit lost mixed in with the pride!
