Making local calls in Jamaica

[Ratty2141]

I picked up a Digicel SIM card and purchased a 7 day plan for my iPhone SE. Works great and I can call locally! Affordable too

Thanks...where did you pick up the SIM card?

Thanks...where did you pick up the SIM card?

There is a Digicel retailer at the MBJ airport. It's in the outbuilding on the left as you exit the arrivals hall, where the taxis and buses congregate. I had to wait a few minutes. It's a very small store and there's only room for a couple people at a time inside. You could also ask your driver to swing by a Digicel store on your way to Negril.

Know that your phone has to be "unlocked" for the new SIM card to work. Typically, to unlock your phone, it has to be paid off in full (not making monthly payments for it on your bill). Then, your service provide can give you a code that needs to be entered into your phone to unlock it.

Picked one up at the Digicel store near Burger King. Have had no issues!
