    You can add credit in small amounts or buy monthly plans.
    It's the only option Rob and I have for our home location...it's also desirable as we move around the island quite a bit...we've been using this set up for years now.

    This was the strategy we hoped to use the first time we needed to get our own WiFi. We got a Digital SIM for one of our iPhones so we could make local calls and turn it into a hotspot, but it didn't have that feature. This was back in the SIM trimming era. If I got a SIM for my iPhone SE would it be fully functional as a hotspot?

    Since at least 2011, iPhone offered the hotspot. That was in the near pre-sim trimming days...

    If you still have the old phone, it may have the capability, but not the "feature". Some carriers blocked the hotspot option.

    Your iPhone SE could have that same issue depending on the original carrier. The functionality is there, but the option may be hidden. If the hotspot feature doesn't appear on the unlocked iPhone SE, follow these instructions:

    To set up Wi-Fi hotspot for an Apple iPhone SE
    From the home screen, tap Settings. ...
    Tap Cellular.
    Tap Personal Hotspot. ...
    Tap the Personal Hotspot switch to enable it.
    Tap Wi-Fi Password.
    Enter a password, then tap Done.
    The personal hotspot is now active allowing other devices to connect via Wi-Fi.

    Re: Ja wifi

    yeah mi been using the WiFi Hotspot on mi Android phones for years.....usually Digicel....not much luck with Flow
    that with grabbing some free Wifi out on the road.....mi get mi share on miles logged in on the internet highway.....lol
    it cost a lot more than the states......you can buy 3GB or 4GB data 30 day plans from Digicel.....but you got to watch your usage
    most Jamaicans like buying the 2 day plans......but it gets really steep if you do dat all month long.....
    like everything in Jamaica....nuthin is cheap.......if there was some more carriers in Jamaica wi would have more competition...
    and better pricing.....oh well.....be happy with what you have.....it's a lot better than it was 15 years ago.....ha ha
