We have an old Nokia - basic call and text type. We had it unlocked by the guy upstairs from Digicel across from Scotia bank for about $15. We went down to Digicel, and I think for $32 we got a SIM plus a 1,000 international minutes and a Digicel account. We can top it up on line for about $3 per month the keep the number.

We sent some friends down with it, and a slew of minute and told them to call to their hearts delight anywhere in the world. They did. They barely diminished the minutes since every Digi to Digi call seemed to get you more free minutes!

It is cheaper for me to do this and call my friend in Australia from Jamaica than from Canada! 1,000 INTERNATIONAL minutes for about $12-15?
If you plan to return ("if you plan to return? don't we all? That's like "left over wine" ... Left over wine?)
