    Re: Using Unlocked iPhone in Jamaica

    Sorry to hijack.

    Am I correct to think that I can buy a phone with some local and international minutes for around $30 US?

    Don't care about Internet access, just a phone.

    Any suggestions for a store in Mo Bay heading east from the airport?

    Going south for week one.

    Thanks

    41 hours til touchdown !!!

    With Lime, you don't need to purchase separate int'l minutes. Calls home AND local Digicel or Lime are 3 cents/minute. Rob reported that the "phones to go" are available at most gas stations. There is a Lime counter within Megamart in Mobay - I purchased a Lime phone with sim and 100 credits for $999j in Nov/12, but that was a sale. Can't go wrong with Lime, even if they're out of stock of the cheapest ones, you should be able to get going for under $30, all in. My sim is still active as I've been twice since then, last trip I just put the sim in my son's old android which has the qwerty keyboard, easier for texting. No problems topping up online. I bring my iPhone and keep it in airplane mode to use just for emailing / data on free wifi...don't usually take it out and about so I'm not a target and no worries about losing it or damaging it.
