Sorry if this has been asked before..
My plan is to get a local SIM card for an old unlocked iPhone.
What is best pre-paid cellular for iPhone data usage?
Am sure there are lots of places to get SIM cards in Negril, but recommendation for that would be nice, too.
Thanks!

I've always used Digicel. The last trip was with my iPhone. Bought the sim at the Digicel store by Burger King. They don't cut them there but you just go up the stairs and the is a shop that will cut it for you. Digicel's regular minutes work for local and long distance and they also have international plans if you will be calling home a lot and data plans if wifi isn't available. All are very reasonably priced.

Thanks, Ras!
I won't need a SIM cut but thanks for the great info about cutting.
In my case, I will use an original iPhone (from 2007) that uses full size SIM. I think anything newer than "3GS" iPhone used "micro" SIM's that require cutting you refer to. And pretty sure the iPhone "5" used an even smaller "nano" SIM.

You are right Frankk. My iPhone 4S that is unlocked takes the micro sim and my iPhone 5S takes the nano. Damn they are small now.

Yeah, I have an iPhone 5. Verizon graciously shipped all their 5's unlocked. With the 5S/C they corrected that "mistake".

I work for my provider and for 50 bucks they will unlock your phone. I think I am ok with just using the 4S down there while we are there.

I need advice on an unlocked phone..it's so confusing for me...sim card???..no contracts???...I would like an inexpensive phone to bring with me..using digicel minutes not with a plan or anything..any ideas??? Please help...
I bought a couple used unlocked quad band phones off of there that work just great in Negril, or you can get a cheap Nokia in Negril that works great.It's small and light, no bells and whistles , but does exactly what you want to do for a couple of weeks.
Sorry to hijack.
Am I correct to think that I can buy a phone with some local and international minutes for around $30 US?
Don't care about Internet access, just a phone.
Any suggestions for a store in Mo Bay heading east from the airport?
Going south for week one.
Thanks
