Android eSIM menus differ between Samsung, Google Pixel and other manufacturers, but the essential setup is the same: add the profile, label it, assign mobile data and protect the home SIM from roaming.
Quick answer: Confirm the phone is unlocked and eSIM-compatible, add the plan on reliable Wi-Fi, label it Jamaica, select it for mobile data and enable Data Roaming for that line. Keep automatic data switching off.

Verify the exact model and regional variant with the manufacturer. Look for Add eSIM, Download SIM or an EID in the device information. eSIM support does not mean the phone is carrier-unlocked.
Add the eSIM on Samsung
Menu names vary by software version, but Samsung commonly uses Settings > Connections > SIM Manager > Add eSIM. Scan the supplied QR code or use the manual details from the order.
Add the eSIM on Google Pixel
Pixel devices commonly use Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Add SIM. Choose the option to download a SIM and follow the prompts. Keep the QR code private and accessible on another screen.
Choose the Jamaica line for data
Label the profile Jamaica and select it under Mobile Data. Enable roaming for the Jamaica eSIM because it connects through a partner network. Disable automatic data switching or backup calling features that could use the home line unexpectedly.
NoveSIM Jamaica plans are data-only and do not include a Jamaican number, conventional calls or carrier SMS.
If Android shows no data
Confirm the active data SIM and roaming setting, leave network selection automatic, then try aeroplane mode and one restart. If manual APN entry is required, verify data.esim. Do not delete the profile without support instructions.

Final Recommendation
