How do the ones that call Jamaica on a regular basis choose your carrier? I have found one but I am not sure if it is allowed for me to post it here.
They charge .22 cents per minute from the U. S. so what do members here use? I would be especially interested to hear from our Northern neighbors.
Thanks for any input. If this has already been addressed I apologize for the repeat post.

I go to Walgreens & buy a prepaid international calling card. Been using them for the past 8 years cheap to call JA.
rebtel.com is cheaper and easier
I use pennytalk.
Thanks again for the link.Quote:

Thanks, I looked at Rebtel but my problem would be a savings of .05 cents per minute but I would have a long distance charge having to call the St. Louis access number.:( The service I am currently using has an 1-800 number for an access number.
And pennytalk rates are the same. Seeing how others posted who they are using I will tell who I am currently using, I am currently using TelephoneJamaica. Calls are clear and connections for the most part are free of dropping.
Reason I was reluctant to post who I use, some websites frown and down right don't allow posting about services their members use.
Thanks for all the replies and ideas.

R U calling landline or mobile? For mobile to mobile the best rate I have found is using calling cards through www.speedypin.com website. ~0.15$ per minute but interested to know if there is a better service available.
Happy trails
I like www.Ringyard.com. 19cents/min and no connection fees, no 3-minute rounding or credit-sucking charges like that. Also no expiration on the minutes.
I know that this is a different (but cheaper) solution but..
If you have a Digicel Phone chip in Jamaica, you can put 700 International Minutes of time (expires in 30 days) on your phone/chip for $1250 Jamaican Dollars. That way, someone can just call you from Jamaica for less than 2 cents US per minute.
I am not a talker so I find that I have to chatty mout a whole lot to use up the time! :D
I don't buy it every month but every couple of months. For me and my situation, it is a perfect solution.
Peace and Guidance
if you want to give a great gift to give someone that has wifi and a laptop in Jamaica......
bring down a magic jack so you can talk back and forth on the phone from N America........
of course you can Skype these days if you got your laptop or tablet too.......

I'm talking with Linston every day now and having him call me on the International plan is the best deal.Quote:

I have a few people I talk with quite regularly and even some business scenario's where I have someones digicel number and know them to offer my way of doing things. I online top up the digicel of who i want to talk to and when they get the text message that I added minutes which happens within 60 seconds or so they call me. This literally costs me pennies per minute that way. I otherwise use walgreens international calling cards at .22 when calling government offices or new people that don't know me or I skype those I can message online or facetime with those with Iphones.
R U calling landline or mobile?
Sorry about that. I am calling a mobile phone. It is .05 cents per minute for a land line.
I use Rebtel Too.. right now its about 17 cents a minuteQuote:
