Do I really need a Jamaican cell?

[mdsn]

I assume my own phone will work in JA as long as I have international roaming? if so, is the only reason to buy a JA phone the difference in cost for the calls? My verizon service is about $2/ minute which is expensive but how much will I really be calling? Am I missing something?

Well, only you can answer "how much will I really be calling?". It is my observation that a lot of people are joined at the hip with their cell phones so you are only "missing something" if that applies to you.

After all, if you talk for 30 minutes on your Verizon roaming cell phone, you will pay $60.00 US which will buy you a cheap Ja. phone and 700 minutes of international credit to boot.

Yeah, if you are a "talker" then you are missing something.
