## Networks

- Jamaica: FLOW (4G)

## Which Jamaica eSIM plan do I need?

Your plan comes down to two things: how many days you'll be on the island, and whether you'll mostly send messages or use social media and video.

- **A city break in Montego Bay or Negril:** three days of light use, with maps and WhatsApp messages, suits 1 GB for 7 days.
- **A week touring from Ocho Rios to Port Antonio:** seven days of standard use suits 5 GB for 30 days.
- **A fortnight with a stop on a nearby island:** 14 days of standard use suits 10 GB for 30 days, and the [Caribbean bundle](/esim/caribbean-25-countries) also covers the nearby islands.
- **A month-long stay or work trip in Kingston:** 30 days of standard use suits 20 GB for 30 days.

Every plan can be topped up, and the longest one lasts 30 days.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Jamaica?

FLOW is the network your eSIM joins in Jamaica, on 4G, and your phone picks it up by itself. You won't need to choose a network.

Resort areas and towns are well covered, from Montego Bay and Negril to Ocho Rios and Kingston. Signal can drop in the mountains, so download your maps before a trip inland.

Your data reaches the internet through Europe, which is a normal setup for travel eSIMs and nothing for you to change. You can read more in [how IP addresses work abroad](/help/ip-address-another-country).

## Using your phone in Jamaica: data tips

- **Arriving:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi. Then land at Sangster International, Montego Bay (MBJ) or Norman Manley International, Kingston (KIN), switch it on and [turn on data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) for the eSIM line.
- **Network and cities:** Your eSIM uses FLOW's 4G network, from Montego Bay and Negril to Ocho Rios, Kingston and Port Antonio. Plans run from 100 MB for 7 days to 20 GB for 30 days.
- **Staying in touch:** WhatsApp is the messaging app to have ready. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, and you can [keep WhatsApp and your home number](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) sorted before you fly.
- **Data:** Light use (maps, messages, email) is about 0.25 GB a day, while standard use (plus social media, music and some video) is about 0.7 GB a day. Every plan can be topped up, so you can add more mid-trip.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Jamaica?

Jamaica eSIMs start at £3.99 for 100 MB over 7 days. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £50.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Jamaica eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to FLOW in Jamaica. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Jamaica eSIM start?

Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in Jamaica, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying.

### Can I top up my Jamaica eSIM?

Yes. Most Jamaica plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones.

### Why does my IP address show another country?

Jamaica plans route your data through Europe, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Jamaica are not affected.

### Does it come with a phone number?

Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data.

### What if my plans change?

Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page.

### Is there 5G in Jamaica on an eSIM?

Not on this one. FLOW, the network your eSIM uses in Jamaica, runs on 4G, and that is what your phone will show. Maps and messages sit happily on it, so you can skip any 5G hunt.

### How much data do I need for a week in Jamaica?

A light week of maps and messages is about 1.8 GB. Add social media, music and some video and you are at about 4.9 GB. Streaming and hotspot push a week to about 12.6 GB, so plan for heavy use if you share your connection.

### Can I use WhatsApp in Jamaica with an eSIM?

Yes. WhatsApp runs on your eSIM data in Jamaica just as it does at home, so messages to friends and family back home carry on as normal.

### Do I need a different eSIM for Montego Bay and Kingston?

No, one Jamaica eSIM serves you whether you land at Sangster International, Montego Bay (MBJ) or Norman Manley International, Kingston (KIN). Choose your plan by length and data, then fly into whichever airport suits your route.

### Which eSIM covers Jamaica and the other Caribbean islands?

The Caribbean eSIM covers 25 countries, Jamaica among them, so one eSIM can carry you from island to island. If you are planning a wider Caribbean trip, it is worth a look before you book your flights.

### Can I get directions around Negril and Ocho Rios on an eSIM?

Yes. Maps run on your eSIM data, so you can check directions as you go from Negril, Ocho Rios or Port Antonio. Download offline maps before you leave home, so you have a route to hand.
