We paid about $15 US for 1,000 international minutes and after 2 weeks turned it back with tons of minutes left! It's great to have as you will collect good taxi driver numbers and such you will want to have on you. It seems to me that to add a package from your US based carrier is going to be way more expensive than getting an el cheapo phone down there. I mean, 1,000 intl minutes for $15? I can call Australia from Jam for cheaper than I can from here in Canada!

Enjoy your trip! I hope you love it like most of us do! Where are you staying? Promise me you won't eat at KFC, but will try real island food and drinks! Get into it! You'll love it!
We're staying at coco la palm... and helllll no I am not eating at kfc, im a bit of a foodie so im trying everything i can possibly eat. I want lobster, and i'll probably eat a **** ton of jerk. and some of that ackee? oh and i want conch. im gonna eat everyyyyythang!

i really want to bring back some of that jb overproof rum but maybe thats too high of alcohol content to bring back?
