I'm paying close attention. As a Canadian, I just have not had it all work yet financially. I bought the plan last trip from Bell ; 100 minutes locally, i think 100 something or other for data … and not sure what the texts were ($60 for 30 days; I'm only 2 weeks). In Canada, I bought the plan to text (just text) 500 for $5.00 a month. It's a charm. Does not work in reverse. Hence this new plan … I could hardly connect on wifi anywhere … 4 or 5 days into my trip, I had used 90% of my usage.

So … I can get Digicel I suppose … but can I not bring an unlocked phone and get a sim card and buy time?

Best choice we ever made was switching to T-Mobile. Unlimited data on the island. Unlimited Texting, and I think calls are 20 cents a minute back to the states. No special plan to select. Works seamlessly.

Hey Flip,

Do you get 3G in Negril? Which Ja. provider does T Mobile use?

Thanks

It picks up Digicel and Lime, I believe. Whatever i strongest.

And yes, it was 3G. The data speed was the same as when I was using my unlocked iphone on Digicel with their data plan.

Also you get a free hour of GOGO inflight internet and you get free messaging on your GOGO supported flights. T-Mobile is really the best, as long as you live in in relative civilization here in the states.

Question on the Verizon plan, I know it is $10 per day "if you use it". Does that include simply leaving the phone turned on or do you actually have to take/place a call to be charged? I would hate to pay $10 per day to simply keep the phone turned on.

[Rumghoul]

I am also a T-Mobile user - love it. My husband's old phone was 3g and worked better in JA than it did in the US.

Verizon also offers a $40 monthly plan for Jamaica instead of the $10 per day option.
