Roaming Caribbean islands

Mark2267 · ‎28-11-2022

Hi , I’m going on a cruise in the Caribbean, so outside of UK/EU but not in US or Mexican territory.

i don’t want to make voice phonecalls, but I do want to use data to send Facebook & WhatsApp.

can anyone tell me what is the best way to do this?
thank you, mark

@Mark2267 : As it is not in EU, you cannot use your usual UK allowances there but will need to pay the charges or buy roaming add-ons as set out in e.g. https://ee.co.uk/help/help-new/roaming-costs/countries/jamaica.

If you are on contract, remember to text ROAMING to 150 before you leave UK to ensure roaming is enabled on your account.
