digicell

If I hit the island on Sun. can I get a new sim card for my local phone? Heading to Treasure Beach and unsure of availability there. thanks dave

with a Sunday arrival,
getting a sim-card *could-be* tricky

[[[ KEEP in mind, that i haven't been on-island in over 2-years ... so, my *feed-back* might-be TOTALLY wrong, but based on pass-trips/experiences ___ ____ ___ ____ ]]]

Digicell offices closed on Sundays

in the past,
i remember seeing a Digicell kiosk AT the airport (somewhere) .... i would check there (if still there).

WARNING...!!!.. --- DO NOT leave the airport, thru the main Arrival-doors, without FIRST checking/looking-around for a Digicell rep/kiosk ... once outside those doors, you'll NOT get back in.

IF you're using a private-driver to TreasureBeach, tell 'em your sim-card-issue ---- they'll more than likely be able to assist to resolve.

If no Digicell-rep @ airport,
mi-*think* you're a duck-out-of-luck
until Monday morn (business hours)

an aside:::>> Once upon a time,
pon arrival,
i had an issue with my *local* phone, which i was tote-ing TO the island

Stopped at a Digicell booth/stand/kiosk INSIDE the airport, on the way from plane to baggage claim ---- got *issue* resolved

There isn't a digicel kiosk at the airport anymore. I'm sure a private driver will pick one up for you in advance. Friends are having their driver do that in December.

THIS is one (of many) reason(s) i LOVE LOVE Jamaica...!!... :::::: that good-'ole "...MAKE it happen....No-problem..." attitude/stylee

Or just spent one nite in Mobay down-town, and buy it on Mondays! L.O.L.

mi would tell the driver to pick one up for you......Digicels sims are like around $500J's......
Sundays are a great travel day to head home but not to arrive as a lot of places are closed......
Cambio's included.......which can be a bummer......and the airport Cambio is a no go due to the poor rates

Cool Runnings, Marko

Would it be possible for you to reactivate your old sim on line? This is what I did through Digicel Jamaica. Called the phone number there for Customer Service to make sure I had an account.

Is $30 for 4 days for cellphone a good price? Thats what I was quoted.

ummmmmmmmmmmmm

the other week,
while chattin' (long-distance phone call) with my Ja-mentor
to check-on my defectiveleft-behind Ja-cell phone
which i've had for a few YEARS(.!!.)
she told me:::>>> "..a NEW cellie would cost between Ja$2,000 & $3,000.."

that's US $20-$30 (approximately)

so, _____ _____ ____ _____ ____
