I don't think they had the international service back then. I bought a phone in Jamaica many years ago that I used to top up to keep active. I found out about Tmobile offering international service at no additional charge about 5 or 6 years ago. I was scared the first trip I used it since I had heard horror stories about roaming charges but as I said I only had a few dollars more than usual for phone calls. I did ask at Tmobile about it before my trip just to be sure and they assured me I could use all services in Jamaica.
