Sim Card Question on buying

[Mr. Twister]

A Lime sime card is only $3.33 US. Much cheaper than Digicel.

So if I have a cell-phone in JA already and I buy one of these phones can I just take the SIM card out of my JA phone and use the new one down there?? The JA cellie is getting a little long in the tooth, tons of people have my number though and I don't want to mess with getting a new number when I get down there, the number stays with the SIM not the phone, right??

I guess I could just go to the store in JA and buy a new phone and let the good folks transfer the SIM over for me, but it is 2013 (or it will be soon!!!) and I feel like I should be able to figure this stuff out.

Thanks!!!

Pine Tree John...you have to enter two different codes on your phone...one code sets up the international plan & another code sets up local calls.

M&M...you can easily transfer your sim card to a new phone. You just pop open the back of the phone...but of course the Digicel people will be happy to do this for you.

ok -- another question then -- if I get a Lime SIM, would the phone pick up Digicel towers, or does it work there that way. Sorta like in the US, if I have a Verizon phone, it won't hit AT&T cell towers -- is it the same with Lime and digicel? Thanks

Lime uses lime towers digicel uses digicel.. both have great call coverage though

I just made up my mind.

I am moving to Jamaica to handle all tourist cell phone questions.....

Rob, what's the fee to advertise? Can I pay in Red Stripes?
