Digicel

I believe that as long as you have some credit on the phone, the sim will not expire. We last used/topped-up our Digicel phone back in November. When we returned from our trip, I put it in a drawer and forgot about it until I saw this thread. Yesterday, I charged up the phone, checked my balance and found that I still have over $1200J on the phone and I can still make and receive calls - 4 months later. One time, I think I went over 6 months between top-ups and the sim didn't expire as I still had some credit on the phone.

All of this is very interesting, but if I were to stop at the MegaMart (which I believe is a Digicel distributor), how much would it cost for a useable phone and a SIM? I know, I know... it depends on what I get for a phone... I understand that. But is there any recent experience here in that regard?

Thanks....

We had a visitor who did that just last month. I'll check with Linston tonight

I have the Digicel app on my phone, top up in seconds, even did it while I was driving last week in Lucea.

Linston wound up loaning them a phone but....

A basic phone with SIM can be purchased for about 30US at Mega Mart plus any airtime

I've heard that you can get a Lime phone for less

Yeah, you can get a basic Lime phone with more minutes than you'll use for $27US. No data though.

If you have a Verizon iPhone 5 or newer it should be unlocked. Just pop in a Digicel sim and you're good to go. Double check with Verizon but every time I've asked they've told me they were.

I use my Samsung phone that I had unlocked and switch SIM cards, also buy the I week data starter plan for $600 j.
