I have had the same numbers for Digicel and Lime on two different phones for over 10 years. The Lime is a stick style phone from 2001, still works great. It's an old Cingular phone. I top-up on line every three months or so. They both work great.

My travel agent said something about TSA agents being concerned about inoperable phones being taken because of security concerns. If I buy a cheap phone here, get it unlocked, and take it to JA, will I have problems at security?
You should have no problem as long as you have your battery charged. They might make you turn the phone on just to verify that it really is a phone. Same can be said with any other kind of electronic device.

For those that use T-mobile in the US, texts and data are free in JA. The data is slow so you can't stream video but it is more than adequate for email and looking at news and forums. Phone calls back to the US are $0.20 per minute. When I landed in Montego Bay, I got a text welcoming me to JA. Everything else just worked. They also offer a speed upgrade to the data connection for a small charge but for just staying in touch, I did not need it.
I recommend Lime, as I have Digicel and they are always sending marketing messages, contest messages, etc. Yesterday I got one about banks offering business grants. I never signed up for any kind of marketing, only the Amber Alert-type messages, which I later turned off. My friend has Lime and never gets messages like these.
Yes i do get a fair amount of txt spam from Digi (these should be free). But don't dismiss all of them. Sometimes they contain some good deals on mins.Originally Posted by Lola

So, if I need to buy a Lime phone in Negril, how much might I pay for the BASIC phone and some local and international minutes?
