I was swapping some furniture out today and came across my Jamaican phone and receipt. Since you can get a cheap phone with SIM and 500J of credit for less than $35, I figured I would post this public service announcement to educate those who might be interested. Unless of course prices have gone up in a couple of months.

Don't be a mark and whip out that brand new Iphone. Leave it in the safe and buy one of these archaic objects. This is my second one as I put my first one thru hell and back and the screen finally gave way. Here is a pic of the phone as well as my receipt for the phone and sim card that I picked up at Mega Mart in April.

The 500J phone credit is actually 625J once you tack on the lofty 25% sales tax. The battery charge last forever on this thing and the reception is about a 6/10. My driver Freddy is really the only person I struggle to understand, but I struggle to understand him in person as well. I have had yet to find a local who cannot navigate this thing in the dark, so ask if you need help adding credit.
