Island phone

[Melody]

The last week of November, I was pleased to discover that Mega Mart in Montego Bay has a Lime desk in the store....and they apparently had one of those awesome specials running, got a Samsung phone, SIM, and $100j in minutes for $999j....not bad for under $12!

I agree, (especially for that price) it's nice to have your own phone. My first trip I had a loaner, and was wondering about how dirty it was. Now, I can save my Jamaican phone numbers to the phone and have my contact list ready to go with each visit.

I have used eztopup once since my return, but wanted to do it again and wasn't able to log in....even the password reset didn't work.....I didn't write down all my details when signing up the first time, but seems weird that none of my usual passwords work. I even tried used an alternate email to start the process over, but got a message that I'm already registered. Sent in an email to their help desk last weekend, but haven't had a response. Eztopup appears to be a separate company that Lime uses for customer's online topups. That's the only thing I've found so far that is preferable to Digicel, their own site allows topup, and has worked great when I've used it to topup a friend's phone.

LLAP, I'm curious about what you mentioned about not needing to topup online to keep the SIM active. I'm traveling to Jamaica again in 3 months, so wanted to keep it up and running for my next trip. Why do you remove the SIM card between visits?
