See the plansWhy an eSIM for Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe is the French Caribbean shaped like a butterfly: two islands joined at the middle, wildly different from wing to wing. Basse-Terre is the green, mountainous half, crowned by the smoking volcano of La Soufriere and laced with rainforest and the Carbet Falls. Grande-Terre is the flatter, sun-baked half of white-sand beaches and sugarcane. Around them float the postcard bays of Les Saintes and Marie-Galante, and through it all runs rum, zouk, and Creole cooking with a French accent. Get an eSIM before you fly and land already online.
Guadeloupe spans two islands and several outer isles, so coverage is good across the towns and beaches, thinning in the Basse-Terre rainforest and on the outer islands. You buy the data before you fly, pay from your crypto balance with no ID, and keep your home number on its own SIM for calls and codes.
- 4G and 5G across Pointe-a-Pitre, the beaches, and the towns.
- Honest about the Basse-Terre rainforest and outer islands, where signal thins.
- Online on arrival at Pointe-a-Pitre airport.
- Pay in crypto with no ID, and keep your home number.
Is a Guadeloupe eSIM right for you?
Whoever you are travelling as, the setup is the same: buy, scan, connect. Here is what it means for you.
Guadeloupe eSIM vs a local SIM vs roaming

Guadeloupe is part of the EU, so EU home plans roam here for free, but UK, US, and other plans do not. An eSIM is a clean fix for non-EU travelers. The rainforest gaps are geography. Costs are rough guides, not quotes.
Coverage and networks in Guadeloupe
Depending on the plan, your eSIM connects to one of Guadeloupe's networks, such as Orange, SFR, or Digicel. Coverage is good across Grande-Terre's beaches and towns, Pointe-a-Pitre, and the main roads with 4G and 5G, thinning in the rainforest and volcano interior of Basse-Terre and out on Les Saintes and Marie-Galante.
Expect strong eSIM coverage in Pointe-a-Pitre, Basse-Terre, Le Gosier, with data across the rest of Guadeloupe. Signal follows the local network, so it is strongest in cities and along main routes.
Your eSIM roams on a major local network:
Coverage by area
Fast, good 4G and 5G across the main city, the airport, and the beach towns of the east like Le Gosier and Sainte-Anne. This is where most of your data gets used.
Reliable in the western towns and along the coast, thinning as you climb into the rainforest and up La Soufriere.
Signal thins on Les Saintes, Marie-Galante, and La Desirade, and fades on the ferry crossings, on any network. Download offline maps before you sail.
How much data do you need in Guadeloupe?
Whether your Guadeloupe trip is 7 days, 2 weeks, or a month, pick the data size to match. Not sure? Slide your trip length below and we will suggest a plan.
A Guadeloupe trip leans on maps, ferry and car-hire apps, hike and beach bookings, translation from French, and a stream of beach, volcano, and village photos to the cloud. French and Creole are the languages, so a translation app helps. For a one to two week trip, 5 to 10 GB suits most people, and you can top up any time.
Estimate your data for Guadeloupe
Social, photos, some video
An estimate to guide you, not a limit. Wi-Fi at your hotel covers a lot, and you can top up any time, so it is fine to start smaller.

Good coverage in the towns of the mountainous western wing, the gateway to La Soufriere volcano and the national park. Signal thins as you head into the rainforest, so download offline maps.

eSIM in Guadeloupe: FAQ
Does my phone support eSIM?+
Most phones from the last few years do, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel models.
How do I pay?+
In crypto only: Bitcoin, Monero, USDT, USDC, Solana, and more.
When does my plan start?+
Your plan validity begins when you install and activate the eSIM, not when you buy it.
Will an eSIM work in Guadeloupe?+
Yes, as long as your phone supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked. The eSIM connects to a local network in Guadeloupe and gives you data the moment you arrive.
How much data do I need in Guadeloupe?+
It depends on what you do. Maps and messaging use very little, while video and hotspotting use much more. For a typical one to two week trip, 3 to 5 GB suits most travelers, and you can top up any time.
Can I keep my phone number in Guadeloupe?+
Yes. Your home number stays on your physical SIM for calls and codes, while the eSIM carries local data. Both work at once on a dual-SIM phone.
Can I buy my eSIM before I travel?+
Yes, and you should. Buy and install it before you fly, then switch the line on when you land in Guadeloupe. Your plan's days only start counting when you activate it, not when you buy.
Does the plan expire?+
Each plan runs for a set number of days once you activate it, shown on the plan. Any balance you have not spent stays on your account for your next trip, so nothing is wasted.
Can I use my eSIM as a personal hotspot?+
On most plans, yes, so you can share your connection with a laptop or a friend. Tethering uses more data, so pick a larger plan if you rely on it.
Does my EU phone plan work in Guadeloupe?+
Yes, for free if it is an EU plan. Guadeloupe is part of France and the EU, so EU home plans roam here at no extra cost. UK, US, and other non-EU plans do not, which is where an eSIM saves you, with a clear prepaid price, no ID, and payment in crypto.
Will an eSIM work hiking La Soufriere or the Carbet Falls?+
At the trailheads and towns of Basse-Terre, yes, on 4G. Deep in the rainforest and up the volcano, signal thins on every network, so download offline maps before you head in and enjoy the offline stretches.
Do I need ID to get connected in Guadeloupe?+
Not with an eSIM. Local SIMs sometimes ask for registration. An eSIM sidesteps that, with no ID and payment in crypto, so you are online the moment you land at Pointe-a-Pitre.
Is there an unlimited data plan for Guadeloupe?+
Yes, an Unlimited 30-day plan, good for a longer stay or heavy use. Sized plans are the cheaper pick if you use less, and you can top up any time. Coverage is strongest on the beaches and in the towns of Grande-Terre.
