A Digicel SIM card, itself, is less than $10 and they is sometimes have a deal where they throw in $200J credit for free. If you add-in the international plan (so you can call home) and top-up enough minutes for a week's vacation it will be closer to $25.Originally Posted by TAH
Well, I just got back and did exactly that and it was under $10...
The prepaid international 1000 bundle gives you 660 international minutes and costs 1000 credits. That's almost US$10 right there?

For the sim and maybe a couple of hundred credits it should be about US$10 but you'll need another 1000 credits to purchase the international plan plus any additional credits for local calls. I'm using the same math as Mike_D. If you got a sim and the 660 international minutes plus some additional credits for local calls for $12 then thats a pretty good deal since you essentially got the sim for free. It costs me that much just for the credits I need each trip (1000 credits for 660 mins. of international calling (for calls to home\US) plus some extra credits for local calls).

Actually, I just looked at my receipt and I paid closer to $12us.
We'll probably try MegaMart. We are arriving during a weekend, and unfortunately, there is just more hassle in downtown Negril than I care to deal with during our first day there.
You got a good deal. I wonder if that was part of some type of package. I remember paying a-la-cart for the SIM plus minutes, but this was a couple a years ago. I still have the same SIM and just top it before each trip.
Yeah, I'm not sure. I know the sim was around $6 itself, the rest was minutes. Lime is cheaper yet. We always carry a Lime phone as a backup, and I always re-up that one for like $3 every trip (assuming the sim isn't expired, which is totally unpredictable).
