Cole, It's still going to be very costly to roam your Verizon phone while in JA even when they tell you it's ok. I know because I have to take my work phone (BB) with me and I see the bill when I get home. My work pays it but it's about 300$ for a 7 day stay and that's using it very little... I have an old iPhone I take with me and stop at the Digicel in the circle then use wifi for data.. Much cheaper.
