How do I add data only to my plan so that I can use data only in the Caribbean?

For the few American protectorates that would have AT&T or T-Mobile, you need to deposit money into your account and then buy the data-only roaming add-ons. Then make sure you have data roaming on in the phone.

Edit: @viewfinder : the coverage maps of both AT&T and T-Mobile show what's available for the area.

I wonder if any folks here have had experience with Public Mobile on other islands that aren't mentioned in the add-on blurb. But show on AT&T as "off-net" under international.

There are no data add ons for the Caribbean. You must get a local sim.

@viewfinder only add-on is the USA roaming add-on which covers these places.

Your U.S. coverage will include all 50 states, plus Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. So, whether you are travelling to the snow-capped mountains in Alaska or to Hawaii’s sunny beaches, we will have you covered.

Other than those places there are no other options that Public Mobile has available.

You would need to either pu6 a local sim or use Gigsky. If you have access then you could use Wi-Fi.

@viewfinder Public does not offer roaming data add-ons for the Carribean. Best to check Amazon and purchase a prepaid SIM or purchase a local sim from the airport once you arrive

Last I checked, Puerto Rico and some islands to the east that are also included are considered to be in the Carribean.

So admittedly the OP asked way too broad a question.
