Purchase SIM Before I Arrive in Jamaica?

[Mike_D]

Frankk- I once found an online service that would ship you a SIM card for various Cell phone providers, from various countries (Digicel Jamaica included). However, the cost seemed high to me, considering the card did not include any minutes. If I remember correctly, it was ~$50 US for the card. I opted to just stop by the Digicel store by the roundabout and buy a card there. In addition, I appreciated the personal service at the Digicel store, as the sales associate took the time to insert the card and setup my phone (there were some menu options that she had to change).

I will see if I can find the website as it may be worth it to you, if you want to purchase the card in advance.


ETA: I found the website:

Without minutes, you end up paying $30 for the SIM card. In person at the Digicel store I think it is only $5.
