I called verizon yesterday about this so I thought I'd give you the info I received. First they said that there is no charge to add international calling to the phone. It can be added and removed at anytime. I have a blackberry but I guess some phones/accounts don't have the capability so you would have to check. I was told that any outgoing calls from jamaica to the U S are treated as a regular call but any incoming are charged $1.99/min. Also they gave me the emergency number while there and it is 1-1-9 which I thought was good to know. Our local verizon dealer didn't really seem to know a lot about it so I called the cust. service # 1-800-922-0204. Also their website has the details on it. Hope this helps.

Just a little more info for you regarding using your Verizon phone while in Jamaica... I personally am using a Blackberry 8830 with the Global (either 4 0r 5 bucks a month) feature... Keeping in mind the fact that my plan allows for unlimited data and voice - which may or may not apply to you - I was able to use my device just as if I were still in Georgia... I received all of my calls an emails - along with text messages from my daughter - and my bill simply displayed the origin but no additional charges even for voice... your plan and/or phone (device, even though a Blackberry) may be different but thought I'd add in my "two-cents" - We arrive on the 24th and fly back out on the 31st - - hope to mee you guys!!
