You can set yourself up with a sim card and phone for around $50-60 plus your time. If you happen to be there between Jan.14 and Feb.14 Digicel has their Valentines sale and you can do it for around $40. Once you buy it then ul always have it and you just have to buy a new sim card upon arrival(approx. 600JA.$). Or you can offer anyone some money to use their phone(buy a phone card) and that will work seeing you don't use it much. Hope this helps-respect
