I have had a Samsung from Digicel for years now and keep the same sim and phone # by adding minutes every 2 to 21/2 months from here in the states. All I do is add a 120 J phone card when I hit Jamaica ans I am up and running with 1000 internatioal and a ton of domestic minutes. Many people like the Lime better so it might be worth checking out. My first phone was around $60 US but is one of the better phones and came with lots of time. Much cheeper after initial purchase.
