AT&T call Jamaica for one cent a minute

[captaind]

I just wanted to point out that this is for calling FROM the USA to Jamaica. If you take your AT+T phone to Jamaica and call back to the USA, rates start at $1.69 per minute for calls, text messages are 50 cents to send, picture messages are $1.30 each to send, and data (if you don't think to sign up for one of their special roaming data plans) is .0195 per KB which doesn't sound like much, but there are approximately 1000 KB in a MB so each MB is almost $20... and there are approximately 1000 MB (actual count is 1024) in a GB... each GB of data will cost you a whopping $19500.

Their "special" data packages don't get much better... you can pay $25 up front to get a whopping 20MB and then .005 per MB after, or $60 for 50MB then .005 per MB after.

Harry,

Thanks for pointing that out. A visitor doesn't want to go home to the US to be greeted with 900 dollar cell bill.

From US to Jamaica this AT&T plan is the best deal I've found. Digicel for data and local, US calls in the other direction....very inexpensive.

Last year I spent just over 800US in communication/data costs. This year it will be half of that.

That's 44,000JA more to spend at Nicky's in Little London
