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.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Jamaica?

Jamaica's mobile network infrastructure is primarily supported by two major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Digicel Jamaica: Offers extensive mobile voice and data services, including 4G LTE connectivity, and has a significant market presence.
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.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Jamaica?

Yes, Jamaica has several travel eSIM plans that include a phone number with both incoming and outgoing SMS. Airalo’s Jamcomm+ series, Roamify’s Jamaica and Global Premium eSIMs, Earth Esim’s Orange Global and MoreMins eSIM with a UK number all provide these capabilities. Airalo and Roamify’s Jamaica plans use the local Jamaica dialing code +1‑876, giving you a true Jamaican number; Earth Esim and MoreMins use foreign codes (+33 and +44), so the number is not local. All of these plans offer inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, enabling you to talk and text while you travel.

The available packages range from small data plans to large bundles and cover 7‑ to 365‑day validity periods. Airalo offers 1 GB to 20 GB for 7–30 days, Roamify sells 1–5 GB for 7–60 days and 10–20 GB for 180–365 days, Earth Esim provides 51 GB for 30 days, and MoreMins provides 25 GB for 30 days. Prices for plans that include outbound SMS start at about $12.00 for Airalo’s 1 GB 7‑day option and can go up to roughly $105.00 for the longest, highest‑capacity packages.
