I need a backup to my Ekit and I am considering this sim. I have Telna, but, well...

Next trip is in June to Montego Bay, Jamaica for a week. The best I have right now is Telna at $0.50/min. I just do not want to depend on Telna alone. Ekit is now showing $1.29 to receive there. It used to be way cheaper(Actually I believe it was free when I last used Ekit there 2 years ago) than that, even up to 2 months ago.

Bottom line - I am trying to minimize my initial outlay for a sim card. So, how much credit comes on the card as default? Then I will decide if I am willing to pay the 10Euro to mail it to the US.

simcard costs 10eur.
registered airmail posting (worldwide) costs 10 eur. from 1 to as many simcards ordered together.
no balance on initial purchase, you either add balance later or at the time of purchasing the sim.
except creditcard & bank transfer they also accept paypal.


*In Jamaica they offer free incoming calls, outgoing calls at 0.55eur./minute.
sms while in Jamaica 0.30eur/sms

they have roaming agreement with both Oceanic Digital Jamaica Limited (2G & 3G) and with Digicel (2G)

If I understand correctly, that's 20 euro for a sim card with no credit. yeah, I checked the Jamaica rates already.

yes and you can add airtime starting from just 1euro!!
also bear in mind that camelmobile simcards & the balance on it do NOT expire if you don't recharge them!
the only condition is to make a chargable call or sms or data connection once every 24months!

Thanks for the detailed update. Are you affiliated with them or something?

A lot of things about the sim sound good, however as someone that has lost money on several similar companies (just recently with Yackie/Paytoo) that have gone under, I would rather not spend 20 euro on sim with no credit.
