Cellular Abroad Rental Service for Jamaica

Rent a cell phone for your trip to the Jamaica and enjoy the convenience and security of a cell phone while avoiding the high cost of roaming with a US number. Cellular Abroad offers cellular phone rentals for the Jamaica and over 120 other countries. Unlike traditional cell phone rental options where you pay expensive per-minute usage rates for all calls, our solution allows you to take advantage of the low rates that the local jamaica are paying, regardless of the length of your trip. These rates are extremely advantageous and even include unlimited FREE incoming calls!

As part of your rental package, you are purchasing a prepaid Jamaica SIM card. A SIM card—also known as a chip—slips easily into a GSM phone. The SIM card is the "brain" of the phone and is what allows you to make calls within the Jamaica or to anywhere in the world. The card is linked to a prepaid account so that you will never receive a phone bill and will always be in complete control of your expenditures. If needed, you can simply add more talk time to your account by purchasing a scratch-off recharge card and entering the unique code off the card into the handset. (If you run out of credit, you can still receive voicemail messages, but will need additional credit to retrieve them from your phone.)
