Calling Jamaica

[Ohio_Buckeye_1]

I used to use the nobel, too, but it would up being just cheaper to get the international plan.

I use Nobelcom for me, in the USA to call to JA. From other posts, look like others might be cheaper, maybe have to explore.
Most times I talk for just a few minutes and have my fiancee call me back on the Digicel Int'l minutes I have sent her.
Or do I misunderstand you - and there is an International Plan here in the USA to call JA you are referring to?

one thing you bring up ohio is the 1,000J, but you have to make sure you make the purchase so that they actually get the full 1000, because there is tax and nonsense. digicel tells you how much the recipient will get when you top them up, so you have to make sure you are actually sending them more than the 1,000. otherwise they will be short and will have to (maybe) make it up on their end.

Good point. I figured interested parties would find the info on Digicel Topup website, but here are more details for those interested:
When you go on digicel TopUp site to send minutes to a JA cell# - they have pull-down of prices/minutes.
Topup of $1250J sends $1000 minutes. Your JA friend will get an IM that minutes have been sent.
Those minutes are not Int'l yet. Unless they type in the code to turn some of their minutes into Int'l ones - they will stay normal minutes.
Normal minutes can be used to call USA phone numbers, but they burn thru those minutes MUCH faster (like $17.75J/min)

Once the JA cell phone has recieved the 1000 or more minutes, they dial *134# SEND to activate the Int'l plan.
They then get a text msg with instructions on choosing how to either activate 1000min as Int'l, or other amounts.
Those 1000 minutes are good for up to 30 days then expire.
