I have a basic Digicel phone and paid $45.00 for everything over a year ago. I buy credits on line every other month, $5.50 US, so I can keep the phone active. When I arrive in MoBay I turn on the phone and the credits load up. When I left in in December i still had $2500J's credit. Great way to travel. If any one wants to borrow the phone for their travels let me know.
