Been to Negril several time and never needed a phone. This time we are bringing our two teenagers and would like to give them a little freedom yet be able to stay in contact with them. Our taxi driver has one we can use. We would like to rent a second phone. Has anyone use this company locate at the airport or is there some where cheaper-better? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Reach out to your taxi driver and tell him you need a 2nd phone --- I would bet he will come up with one.
It would be cheaper to buy a phone or at least the same cost.
If your driver doesn't have a second phone option...you could ask them to purchase the cheapest one available for you (which you would pay for), purchase a sim card and some minutes for the phone and in return for picking it up etc, you could leave the phone with your driver as a "gift".
If you have unlocked phones you can buy a sim card from one of the carriers and then just buy minutes as needed. We have been doing that with our iPhones for years.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. KJV Psalm 68:4
I think I will bring an old Iphone 4, get a sim card then leave the phone with our driver . Thanks for the advise!
I thought I heard that after a certain model, all iPhones came unlocked. Not sure if it was the 4 or 5, but might be worth confirming before you get to Negril. If it's locked, your carrier will help you unlock it for free.
We use a Blackberry curve (must be close to 10 years old now) when in Jamaica. Before I initially brought it to the Digicel store to get a SIM card, I called AT&T back home and had it unlocked (actually, I used the online chat). It's served us well for over 4 years, but on our last trip it started dropping calls/shutting down after a few minutes of talk time. I may have to unlock another phone to use on the next trip. We have an old Motorola Blackflip that might be fun.
