Flow Cellphone Provider Refused to Sell Me a SIM card

[smith744]

............ during the year you can buy extra credit for sim card during the year to keep it active - like small amount, $5-10......

.
yep yep
that'll work

don't add much ... $5 is enough

me-personaly,
don't have time for all that
so,
i leave mine with my Lucea-mentor
to hold
'til i return

they add credit to my phone
on the first of the month
and
when Digicell give extra-extra one-time *credits*

then mi-mentor,
transfers the credits
over to dem phone

i call it ::::>> a ''''keep my phone safe *fee*'''

dunno WHAT they did or didn't do
but
last trip
when i added credits to my phone
the thing went crazy
making all kinds of rings & dings & funny-tones
as a bazzilion credits pop-up on my phone when i added phone credits.

As for mixing threads, well sometimes I get carried away ;

Stopped at "Flow" Jamaican cellphone provider (formerly known as "Lime")at Mega Mart to get SIM for my unlocked iPhone. They refused to sell to me because I didn't have a Jamaican ID (refused to sell to tourists). Never had that problem before - they usually require my passport but never had a hassle before.

I'll try again after I get to Negril this weekend.

Did any of you have this problem?

I have an old Iphone 4, I assume I could use that but not sure about the getting it unlocked part.

Actually, a Digicel SIM is good for about 1 year, even after you run out of credit. I've been using the same SIM for over 2 years now. I just top it up before my trip.

Check out this thread to find out when your SIM expires:
