I went ahead and bought a Claro pre-paid phone two weeks ago. It was around $25usd and included a SIM card. Samsung phone, not bad...has an FM radio of all things! I'll be topping up via internet. We decided it was best to have our own # in JA and we plan on returning at least once a year. Easiest phone transaction ever, no id asked for and the Claro girl set it up for us in no time. This was at the Claro store on the second floor of the building that houses Negril de Nail salon...on the cliff road just south of the roundabout. We thought the price was fair, YMMV.
