Will a sidekickIII (t-mobile) have service in jamaica?

Question

i've got to know because my friend is going on a trip there and we want to be sure we can keep in touch.

Answer 1

I had Sprint...I thought when I went to Jamaica I would be able to get service down there. Roam didn't even work.  I don't know why and I never called sprint to find out (phone wasn't working) On my next visit though I will make sure I have service.

Just have your friend call T-Mobile before he leaves.  

Answer 2

1. Depends on the plan or your arrangements with T-Mobile. I dont believe romaing is automatically enabled on all plans. Call T- Mobile to find out.

2. Once Roaming is enabled, the Sidekick will work.

3. If you get the phone unlocked, you can save roaming charges by picking up a pre-paid Digicel sim card in Jamaica. it costs less than $10 US.  Local cellular providers dont charge for incoming calls so it will be MUCH more economical.

Answer 3

i use a jamaican sim in my phone
