ooh i cant wait to get me a limeade box drink!!

JALOVE,

I like the Cherry Limeade Box Drink. You know how they freeze it at the "Shop". So by the time you get home it's melting ...lol. So good.

at the big tastee patty place we dig thru the ice box to get the frozen ones!!! i have not tried the cherry limeade ill be on search mission for that. Im have to top up my digicel fon before i leave so i can text u all lol on my journey!!!! im a mad texter i rather text

I can never get a text to go through from my digicel phone back to the States when I'm there. What am I doing wrong? My sweetie also cannot text me, but he can text his sister with no problem. I have VZW...we have tried everything, and it will say that it was sent on his phone, but I NEVER get it.

It is soooooo frustrating.

I haven't been able to figure this out either. Sometimes I feel it is the phone or maybe it is the service. Not sure but it is frustrating as hell! One time Kevin text me something and it blew up my phone texting the same message 20 + times.... something got stuck I guess. When he called digicel they told him some lame azzz story that there was a repeat feature that HE must have pushed????? I have no clue what they were talking about. Ever since no texts have been able to go through so although he calls them to ask why it doesn't work....they provide no answer.

naw duplicates are caused by no response acknowledgment returned. network thinks that the message was never received so it keeps sending it or either ur phone was havin an issue now if u werent charged for each incoming text then ur fon had a problem

So, Kim...since you are the cell phone expert on VJ :thumbs: Can you tell me how to help a Jamaican man to not loose, break, drown, leave in rt taxi his phone????? B) Girl if I NEVER hear a story about something going wrong about a cell phone....it will be tooo soon.

get some crazy glue and tie it to rope well maybe get a belt clip or little pouch that connects to a belt lol well chris did leave his in taxi and why the man charge him to bring it to him he wanted 30 US lol

It must be a Jamaican MAN thing cause it doesn't even stop when they get here.

Oh, I know one thing I used to do to sneak texts through to JA...I would put a "+"before the number. Seemed to work for some reason. Something about telling the phone it was an international number or some other silly explanation.

Wow what a day y'all had in the yardie thread :lol:

I don't think Shawn is Dorethas...not a chance. Look here though...Shawn was a member from '05 so it is a long time person...

Not Dee though...I don't think it could be her!

Jamie, is that you? Why you change your screen name woman?!! Confuse everyone!

BTW, they're not talking about Dee (aka: brownskinn, aka: dee&dave. They're talking about Dorethea from a looooong time ago. I don't think it's her either.

Yeah its me :) Had to change my screen name cause of a "spy"...long story :wacko:

Yeah I know they weren't talking about Dee of Dee&Dave...Doretha was a Dee as well if I remember correctly.

Oh, just you wait. If he is anything like my husband he will lose his phone constantly. Of course, it is always on either silent or vibrate, so you can't just call it to find it. He will forget his wallet too. He'll lose the car keys. And, you will come home to all the lights on, the doors of all your cabinets open, the back door open with the a/c running, the tv on while the radio is blasting, and every single pot and pan you own dirty in the sink cause he cooked you dinner!

I have had texting issues too. Some people in JA can text me; most cannot. I have (cingular)AT&T. I even have issues with Canada. If someone texts me from Canada, I can answer back with a text. But, I cannot just send a text to them. It's the wierdest thing.

cable and wireless and digicel can send/rcv with US numbers but Miphone can only receive from US numbers and you cant roam here with their prepaid digicel u can but oh boy its expensive its not worth it speakin of that! did your SOs keep their digicel number and top them up from the US or just toss it and get a US cell fon

SO just got a new cell phone. Well, I added a line to my plan, so now we SHARE minutes. He still haves Digicel phone..but just uses it for phone numbers. Can the Digicel be used here in the US? What does top them up mean?

AMEN!!! :thumbs:

Even now A's cell phone isn't working...the screen is just blank so he can't read any texts or go through his phone book to call people. Every morning when he leaves for work I have to ask him "you have your keys, wallet and phone"...he always replies "of course" walks out the door and two seconds later returns for one, two or all three of the items :lol:

Yeah I know they weren't talking about Dee of Dee&Dave...Doretha was a Dee as well if I remember correctly.

Yeah, back then Dee&Dave (brownskin) went by Denise and Doretha was Dee. Some of us stayed in contact with her for awhile...she was a sweetheart.

We are still in touch....and it's definitely not her. She doesn't come on here ....she has no reason to. She caught her man cheating when she went down for the interview and broke up with him.

She's doing great !

I can never get a text to go through from my digicel phone back to the States when I'm there. What am I doing wrong? My sweetie also cannot text me, but he can text his sister with no problem. I have VZW...we have tried everything, and it will say that it was sent on his phone, but I NEVER get it.

It is soooooo frustrating.

I haven't been able to figure this out either. Sometimes I feel it is the phone or maybe it is the service. Not sure but it is frustrating as hell! One time Kevin text me something and it blew up my phone texting the same message 20 + times.... something got stuck I guess. When he called digicel they told him some lame azzz story that there was a repeat feature that HE must have pushed????? I have no clue what they were talking about. Ever since no texts have been able to go through so although he calls them to ask why it doesn't work....they provide no answer.

I'm sure you guys already know this....but for those that may not...

1. If sending from your email address:

in the "to" line of email, enter the following:

876#######@DIGITEXTJM.COM

area code followd by phone number @digitextjm.com

*subject line does not need to be added*

2. If sending from your cell phone

you should be able to text just by adding the phone number

1876#######

if that does not work, then try

876#######@DIGITEXTJM.COM

area code followd by phone number @digitextjm.com
