Calling Jamaica

[Yvonne]

The international plans are 1000 minutes or 1500 minutes. You need $1250 in credit to get the 1000 min. international plan. Using the same % that'd be $1875, if my math is correct, for the 1500 minute plan. I ran out of my 1000 minutes in 3 weeks & started over. Very easy to top up online. Used my Digicel acct. to pay for my wireless access this summer, too.

Wish I could get a good rate to call JA w/ out having to dial 800 #, pin #, etc. Royal PIA. Don't call often, mainly because it is such a PIA. My phone provider has international calling plans but none include JA, don't even give JA per min rate on their website. Just checked this a.m. since I have a friend in IL who pays - I think - $5 a month & can call JA at no extra cost. I'm pretty sure that's what he told me. Will ask when I talk w/ him again. Of course, you'd have to live in his area to get that deal

yup, good post yvonne. when you purchase the minutes on digicel they tell you how much you are buying and what the receiver will actually get, so so long as you cover the amount of the intl plan, you are good.
