Jamaica eSIM — your questions answered
When does my Jamaica eSIM start?⌄
Your validity period begins when the eSIM first connects to a Jamaica network, not when you buy it. You can safely install it before you fly — it stays asleep until you land.
Will my phone work with a Jamaica eSIM?⌄
You need an eSIM-capable, network-unlocked phone (an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy). Check our compatibility page before you buy — and if your phone turns out not to support eSIM, you get a full refund as long as it has not been installed.
Can I keep my number and WhatsApp on a Jamaica eSIM?⌄
Yes. Your vigxo plan is data-only, so your normal SIM remains active for calls, texts and your usual number. WhatsApp, iMessage and all your regular apps will continue working over the eSIM data connection.
What if my Jamaica data runs out?⌄
If your plan supports it, you can top up an active eSIM in seconds from your dashboard without needing to reinstall. Otherwise, simply buy another plan and it will stack onto your existing eSIM.
How do refunds work?⌄
We offer a full refund at any time before installation, up to 120 days from purchase. Once an eSIM is installed, the data is live and cannot be refunded.
Setup
Set up your Jamaica eSIM before you fly
It takes about a minute. Tap the install link we email you, leave the line switched off, then switch it on when you land — and you're online.
On iPhone (iOS)
1After you buy, open the confirmation email and tap the install link — the eSIM adds itself (iOS 17.4 or later). On an older iPhone: Settings → Mobile Data → Add eSIM, then scan the QR code from the same email.
2Label the plan (for example, "vigxo travel") and keep your normal SIM as the default line for calls and texts.
3Turn on Data Roaming for the vigxo line — this uses our local partner network, not your home network provider.
On Android
1Open Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM, then scan the QR code from your email.
2Download the profile and set vigxo as your mobile data line.
What you can actually buy for a Jamaica trip
Jamaica: 5 plans, from 3 to 20 GB. Validity runs from 15 days to 30 days. None of these run on 5G — the Jamaica networks we resell are LTE only. We would rather say so here than let you find out on arrival.
5 plans can be topped up without installing a second eSIM. Plans run on Digicel.
Counted from our live catalogue, not a marketing figure — the plan list above this section is the same data.
Regional plans that include Jamaica cover
No regional bundle includes Jamaica cover — a single-country plan is the only option here, and it is usually the cheaper one anyway.
How a Jamaica eSIM works
A Jamaica travel eSIM is a digital SIM that downloads straight to your phone — no plastic card, no queuing at an airport counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (the QR code is in there too), and your phone adds a second line alongside your normal SIM. It stays dormant until your trip begins, then connects automatically to Digicel on LTE. Your normal number carries on working for calls and texts while the eSIM handles the data.
How much data for a Jamaica trip?
Maps, messaging and taxi apps use very little data — roughly 300–500 MB a day. If you add photos, social media and the occasional video, expect to use closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip, a 5 GB plan is usually plenty; for two weeks, tethering, or heavy use, opt for 10 GB or more, or choose a top-up plan you can reload as you go. Jamaica plans start at £28.00 across 5 sizes, with the per-GB price clearly shown so you can easily spot the best value.
Does a Jamaica eSIM avoid roaming charges?
Yes. A Jamaica travel eSIM is a local data plan rather than international roaming — you pay the price you saw online, and there are no per-megabyte charges from your home network provider. Set the eSIM as your mobile data line, switch data roaming off on your normal SIM, and nothing unexpected turns up on your next bill. Full refund at any time before installation, so buying ahead costs you nothing.
