It "would" work, but I really don't see the point. A cheap unlocked smartphone with a hotspot is easier to use. You would have to buy the sim, then add a data plan, which is currently 4gigs for j$4000. Your speed is dictated by the cell reception, which is far less than LTE in Negril.
And I don't think that the browser user interface would allow you to add a data plan. You may need a phone to start it.
And the advantage of a phone is that it is still a phone.
