“I am a sailor, I travel a lot around the Caribbean islands. The card worked in the US, later in St. Croix (even though it did not support this island). Cards from other operators do not allow connection in unsupported countries. However, Airhub connected and after a while blocked the card. Okay my fault. Being in Jamaica, I bought a second card and the internet didn't work at all. So wasted 2 times $34, I do not recommend.”

Flow Jamaica: Provides comprehensive mobile services with a focus on 4G LTE network coverage, alongside fixed-line, broadband internet, and cable TV offerings.

In addition to these MNOs, Jamaica hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that lease network access from the major carriers to offer mobile services. Notable local MVNOs include Caricel and Jamii Telecom. It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of MNOs rather than MVNOs.
