 Chippie is the official telecommunication provider for the St Maarten Heineken Regatta. Chippie is the cellular brand of United Telecommunication Services (UTS), the leading telecommunication provider in the Netherlands Antilles. We offer a broad variety of mobile and fixed services and Chippie has full coverage on St Maarten, both Dutch and French side! And with Chippie you never pay roaming costs when you are on the Chippie network. This is called Chippieland. Chippie has coverage on most of the surrounding islands, so when sailing from St Maarten to Saba for instance, you will stay connected the entire trip!
If you choose to roam on St Maarten, choose Chippie/UTS. We are up to 60% cheaper than other local networks. But roaming is still expensive with rates for calling back home up to $ 4.00 per minute, depending on your local provider and the network you choose on St Maarten.
