Cell Phones in Jamaica
We have Verizon which were unusable in interior Mexico. Some one els had AT&T which was sending and receiving calls. We got an AT&T but could only receive but not call out. Both were set up for international calling. Does anyone know if Verizon will work in Jamamica?

Did you look here? It appears that you can use your Verizon CDMA phone in Jamaica. There is a link to the localities that have coverage here.

Hey, mon! Every-ting be okay if you dey use a mobile phone dat is a GSM and can pick up 900MHz dat Digicel provides. Most higher-end GSM phones (tri- or quad-band) have dis feature so if it all applies to you, then there is no problem, mon!

p.s. Sure, Verizon has superior coverage in the U.S., but not much else elsewhere. I'd rather put up with my current cell provider AT&T Mobility's ability roam than get something that I view to be proprietary.
