Using my phone abroad.
Good morning.
I am a little confused by the various add-ons to use my phone in the Carribbean.
Basically, I want to call the within the country of Jamaica plus the UK, send text and use data for navigation purposes for a two week visit.
Could someone kindly inform/signpost me to the best add-on?
Many thanks.

Specifically, the cost of using your phone is set out on p19-p20.
To pay for all of that use, you need an out-of-plan add on - see p15
Hope this helps.

Hi. I'm going to Jamaica next week myself, I thought all you had to do was have your APN set to 'mob.asm.net' to use an Android phone aboard. Did all work well as you expected? Thanks.
Okay Lenny_472925, setting your APN value to "mob.asm.net" only ensures you can use a mobile data connection while roaming, but only if you have sufficient credit to use while roaming with your SMARTY Mobile SIM card.
The roaming charges for Jamaica (Roaming band 3) are on page 19 of the SMARTY price guide.
