At the risk of hijacking the thread, I heard (many years ago) that all phones won't work in Jamaica because of differences in technology. Is this true? If so, how do I know if my phone is compatible?

Also, if I go to Digicel, is it as simple as swapping out the sim card and you are good to go? My phone number stays the same?

(Please don't laugh, I'm a bit technologically challenged when it comes to this type of cell phone chat. So please use small words. )
