Flow Cellphone Provider Refused to Sell Me a SIM card

[Marko]

if you buy a phone from Digicel or Lime you will never have a problem getting a Sim Card........
Digicel and Lime stores are franchises and make most of der money on phone sales....
as right now you can get a sim card at the Negril Digicel franchise store without buying a phone.....
in da past when dem low on Sim cards at the Negril Digicel store.......they wouldn't sell dem.....
never have had a problem getting a Lime sim card without buying a phone......bought about a dozen sim cards so far.....lol

Can't the same SIM card be used year after year? If not, why not?

I'm sure they just didn't want to mess with selling just a SIM. I'll try to get that fixed in Negril next week.

If the phone has not been used or topped up for a few months, the SIM becomes inactive. Happened to me once and even though my number hadn't been reassigned they wouldn't let me keep it.
