If I buy a cellphone that is locked to digicel already, can I activate it from the United States by registering online and topping up the minutes? I really appreciate the help, as I am VERY dumb with this stuff! We are arriving on the holiday so I know I won't be able to get to a digicel store for at least two days.
you gotta buy a Sim card for $300J plus tax at Digicel or Lime and have dem activate it.......Originally Posted by plongdin

They have to activate it? So based on this info I can't have someone purchase a sim card in Jamaica and mail it to me so my phone will work upon arrival?
Can a sim card be activated in someone elses Razr at the Lime store and then mailed to me and then installed in my Razr? Not sure if this will work.....

The SIM has to be activated at the POS in JA. The purchaser will have to provide either JA ID or a Passport. It doesn't matter what phone, if any, the SIM is activated in, it will work in any GSM phone that is unlocked. The SIM doesn't know whose phone it is in....

However, once you land in JA, your phone will send info to the SIM's carrier as to exactly what type of phone the SIM is in...not that it should matter a whit....
