I don’t think it’s just a jamaican thing…maybe an island thing…had a friend who was trini/haitian…when I’d call his house (growing up) that’s how he or his parents would answer the phone (landline )

Correct.

The right use of good night is when you’re saying good bye to someone for the night or when you’re going to sleep. Other than that it’s Hello or good evening.
