Yes, you will need to change Sim cards, If you're sim is older than three years old. Also ensure that you're device is compatible with band 4 1700/2100 MHz LTE for Flow. And Band 17 700Mhz LTE for Digicel. Both Networks LTE service is not widespread. For Digicel, thier LTE is mostly in Kingston and ST Andrew, parts of Montego Bay. And now some parts of Ocho Rios, Trelawney and soon hopefully other areas. Flows LTE Network is still in testing for the most part outside of Kingston. When thier LTE Network is fully turned on. It will be available in all of Kingston and ST Andrew, Portmote, Spanish Town, Mandeville, Ocho Rios, Montego Bay.

For both networks, you do need an LTE SIM and a compatible phone i.e. a phone with LTE Band 4 (for FLOW) or 17 (for Digicel). For FLOW, this is a simple ordeal, LTE SIMs are labelled 'Prepaid Mobile LTE' on the front... not so sure for Digicel. Also, your location plays a key role, what town are you in exactly?
Ok thanks much @nathan77791 @brandysull I'll start there with replacing the sim and hopefully, I'll be able to chime in with my experiences.

Digicel really are snakes.. soon as FLOW LTE all over Mobay.. I'm now this morning getting Digicel LTE all over Mobay....
Is it giving similar speeds to FLOW? I'm curious... MoBay finally in the 21st century at least. I'd love to see how they compete in terms of speed... Them averages FLOW pulling ain't no joke... and Digicel's microwave solutions aren't necessarily the steadiest of them all.
