Having a JA cell has been no problem at all. I top it off every 2-3 months online with $5-$7 and I have credit as soon as I land -- sometimes you have to add credit to jump start it. I always have way to much credit and give it away to a few folks I know. I have loaned my phone to several friends and family who travel there but now not anymore. I'm heading down for a short trip this weekend and spending even 10 mins in a Digicel store was not on my agenda....it is now. Since the person who damaged my JA cell gave me way too much cash in addition to a phone purchased off Ebay, I will be going to Digicel.
