:help:

Anyone have suggestions on the best/cheapest way to call Jamaica and Jamaica call U.S.? I have been using Tel3 an internet credit service to put on my cell phone (U.S. phone), and Skype credit for U.S. cell phone. My fiance has been topping up Digicel credit 1,000 JA credit that lasts a week, if even that :blink: And you can only top up a certain amount of times a month because it's supposed to be a monthly plan. So fiance has to switch from two different numbers to keep up with the credit we use! I've used just about every calling card you can find at a store and nothing's good. I've looked online for help to no avail.

Unle

Any suggestions?! :unsure:

You have definitely got the boat load of information to answer this question! My SO also does the international credit. Either him or I buy, but it still is much cheaper than what I was spending. I also keep $25 worth of credit on my phone from REBTEL which allows me to dial a local number to call him (at no additional charge to me - with unlimited minutes) in case of emergencies. It saves me a ton of money cause trust we talk constantly!

Be Sober, Be Vigilant!

My husband has a magicjack number, if you have a smartphone you can get the app on your phone, it is free and you will have a us number that anyone you have called can call and you can call them as long as you have wifi connection we pay 3500 jmd per month for a digicel modem with internet service.
