I will be travelling to Jamaica for a few weeks. What do I need to do so I can text and access the internet while I'm travelling?

Hello @BeeMag
First, take us with you!!!! 🙂
Second, here are some links to overseas SIM cards that may help.
and
Then you can download an app like TextNow with a local phone number to where you live now and can keep it touch with folks back here in Canada.

You can use WhatsApp if both parties have this app for free calling and texting through wifi or a local SIM.

@BeeMag Unfortunately PM only has roaming in the U.S. not Jamaica . Your best bet is to get local pre paid sim card in your destination

Unfortunately, Public mobile does not offer international roaming services (besides USA).
You will need to purchase a domestic SIM card when you arrive in Jamaica.

HI @BeeMag
sorry, PM does not have roaming service for Jamaica, in fact, they only have it for USA
so, the best you can do is to get local data sim card or wifi, and then use Whatsapp or Facebook or iMessge for messaging.
or you can also use VoIP app like Fongo to text and call on the app using another number assigned by the app
