If you plan on returning do yourself a big favor and buy a phone. Or if you can unlock your own phone you can simply pickup a local sim and pop it in. Your phone might already be unlocked, if it is an IPhone it already is. Just don't go flashing the IPhone around if you do indeed have one.

As someone who works in the cell phone industry in the USA, I can say with 100% certainty that iPhones are not already unlocked unless you purchased it directly from the Apple store. If you bought it from one of the wireless carriers (AT&T, etc) it will be locked to them unless you have it unlocked. Rule of thumb is, if you received it at any sort of discount (meaning you paid less than $500 for it) you will need to unlock it for international use.

Booger, I took your advice in the past and unlocked an old Blackberry that I had lying around the house. I got on the at&t support chat on their website, and they walked me through the unlocking process. It took a little work but it was relatively painless. Then, when we arrived in Negril I stopped at the Digicel store and picked up a sim card and 1000 (international) minutes for about $20. The nice lady at the store installed it for me and made sure everything was working. No problem! Worked like a charm.

However, once we arrived home we kept getting calls and texts from a Jamaican woman. Now, my wife is suspicious about all those trips I made to DJ's Market. I told that her that if the texts were really intended for me they wouldn't be written in patois.
