Wireless internet options in Jamaica
I am moving to Jamaica soon and I have a laptop with built in wireless but I dont know anything much about the wifi there. I know that there is free wifi in the airport, at devon house, and a few places in new kingston but what about in the country. What are my options if I am travelling around the island especially St. Mary and Portland.
Also my friend was telling me that a cell phone can be used to dial in to an internet connection can someone tell me how that works...Thanks

a nokia d311 with a cwj sim card will get you online via gprs about everywhere in Jamaica for $15ja per day.

death_knight--I beg to diifer. The GPRS speed on the Nokia D311 PCMCIA card is actually faster than dial-up speed.

lol...don't tell me you're fooled by the "connected at" speed. Please... go to Testmy.net while connected to your gprs and post a screen shot. Thanks!

Actually, he's speaking about a gprs pcmcia card, the speed on those is way faster than a gprs connection through a cell phone.
