Unlimited texting and data while in Jamaica!

[HarryS]

T-Mobile has recently rolled out global usage in more than 100 countries with most of their current plans with no additional charges, and Jamaica is on the list! While in Jamaica, you'll be able to send and receive text messages within JA and back to the USA, as well as have basic data service (128k speeds) for no additional charge, no roaming fees, nothing! Calls within JA and back to the USA will run 20 cents per minute.

This might help some of those who want to have a cell phone while travelling but don't want to go to the hassle of unlocking their device and having to get a SIM card while there. You'll also be using your normal phone number, not a temporary Jamaican one.

Not only that, if you're not a T-Mobile customer, this is a great time to make the switch - no contracts, an ever-expanding 4G LTE network, and you'll save money over AT+T/Verizon, as much as $1000's over the typical 2 year term the others lock you in for.

I work for T-Mobile, so if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.

I do have a question

I have T-Mobile SIM I use when I am travelling in the states. I'm on the $3 pay by the day plan. Would this global usage still apply?

Will have to look in to it. Can't get service from them where I live. Need to make calls on my way to town.

This plan does not work with the "Pay by the day" plans. You will need to be on a no-contract "Simple Choice" plan that gets you unlimited talk, text, and data within the USA starting at $50/ month for one line, (or $80 for 2, $90 for 3, $100 for 4 or $110 for 5 lines) then you also get the global services included for free.

T-Mobile has spent billions expanding the network - if you used to have issues with coverage where you live, that may no longer be the case. You can enter an address here to see what coverage is like at any address in the USA: http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage.html

Here's an idea - leave your phone at home for a week - take a 'screen' break and experience Negril without having to carry your device with you everywhere you go so you can check it every 2 minutes.

If my phone didn't take such great pics I would do just that! but I use my fone as my camera.

Hello? Can you hear me now?

But I'm glad T Mobile at least has added Jamaica to their list of countries!

Amen to that....

I'm the other side of the coin.

Being able to have internet and cell phone has made my return and rebuilding of the yard possible.

I can't imagine being able to do what we've done so far with out them.

I talk to Linston on SKYPE several times a day when off the island.

I love being in touch
