A local SIM instead?
Digicel sells prepaid plans in Jamaican dollars; its site lists, for example, a 7-day plan with a large data allowance. A local SIM means a shop visit after landing and a local number; an eSIM is ready before you fly and keeps your home SIM free for calls and bank SMS.
How much data you need
Check your phone’s usage statistics for a normal day and multiply by the days away from Wi-Fi. Maps and messaging use little; video and laptop hotspot use the most. You can top up the same eSIM from your goAFK profile if you run out.
Setup and activation
Buy on goafk.io or in the Telegram bot @goafk_bot, install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi and select it for mobile data after landing. The eSIM must be activated within 180 days of purchase, and the plan starts on the first connection in Jamaica. The QR code installs once, so do not delete the profile.
