For staying in touch with others on the island during your stay, a prepaid cell phone appears to be the best alternative.
Some of the resorts appear to have cell phone rentals available from the front desk:
Beach Club Condos
White Sands - Can even request a phone number before arriving
There are apparently two major cell providers on the island:
1) Digicel Retail Locations, including one in Negril and several in Montego Bay
2) bMobile / C & W (Cable & Wireless) which apparently was renamed to LIME, but I can't be sure what's going on with this company(s)
Additionally, there are phone plans you could purchase (and should do so shortly) and have shipped to you prior to leaving (shipping back when you return). Cello Mobile is one such provider, but please note that it is not prepaid and bills you when you return.
For calling home during your stay, calling cards or prepaid accounts (similar to RingYard) may be the best option.
