What a Guanet eSIM costs
The cheapest published plan on the Guadeloupe travel eSIM is $4.00 for 1 GB valid 7 days. A 2 GB / 15 day plan is $7.00, a 3 GB / 30 day plan is $8.10, and a 5 GB / 30 day plan is $12.15. Larger buckets go up to 20 GB for 30 days at $31.45. Unlimited data is listed separately on the same product, from $11.50 for 3 days. Buy the size that matches the trip, not a larger plan “just in case”.
Network
The plan is sold under the operator name Guanet and the supported country is Guadeloupe. The product page publishes the speed as 4G. That is the figure to plan around. It is not a 5G product, and speed on the ground still depends on the mast, the handset, and the carrier Fair Usage Policy. Guadeloupe is covered as its own territory on this plan, including Grande-Terre, Basse-Terre, and the ferry links to Marie-Galante and Les Saintes where a local mast reaches. Signal thins out in the rainforest of Basse-Terre and on the smaller dependencies, so download offline maps before a hike. It does not cover Dominica, Antigua, Martinique, or mainland France. Guadeloupe is a department of France, but this is the Guadeloupe product, not a France plan.
How much data you actually need
Maps, chat, and ferry timetables sit inside 1 GB for a short stay. Photos and short video push a beach week toward 2 or 3 GB. A longer stay with hotel Wi-Fi plus mobile backup is the 5 GB or 10 GB / 30 day plan. Hotspot use burns the allowance faster than the phone alone.
Unlimited data
Unlimited plans are listed on the same product page, from $11.50 for 3 days, $19.50 for 5 days, $22.95 for 7 days, $29.75 for 10 days, $49.00 for 15 days and $73.50 for 30 days. Unlimited still sits under a Fair Usage Policy, so a hotspot left on all day can be slowed. For a three-day stay the $11.50 unlimited plan is close to 5 GB for 30 days at $12.15, so pick unlimited only if you really will stream.
Dual SIM
Keep your home SIM for calls and bank texts. Turn on data roaming only for the Guanet line. iPhone: Settings, Mobile Data, pick the travel line. Android: Settings, Network, SIMs, set mobile data to the travel eSIM. Do this before you leave the airport Wi-Fi.
Arrival and transit
Most visitors land at Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport (PTP) on Grande-Terre, with a smaller strip at Marie-Galante. Install the eSIM on hotel or home Wi-Fi before the flight, then switch the data line on after you clear arrivals. You do not need a local shop or a passport photo for this plan.
Install
- Buy the plan and open the QR code in the order email while you still have Wi-Fi.
- On the phone, add an eSIM and scan that code. Label the line “Guadeloupe”.
- After landing, set mobile data to that line and leave your home number on for texts.
Phone compatibility
The phone must be carrier-unlocked and eSIM-capable. iPhone XS and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models, qualify. A locked handset will not take the QR code. Check the lock status with your home carrier before you pay.
FAQ
Q1: How much is the cheapest Guadeloupe eSIM?
$4.00 for 1 GB, valid 7 days, on the Guanet plan.
Q2: Which operator is on the plan?
Guanet. The supported country is Guadeloupe.
Q3: Does it include calls and SMS?
No. It is a data plan. Keep your home SIM for calls and one-time passwords.
Q4: Is it 5G?
No. The product page lists the speed as 4G, not 5G. Real speed still depends on coverage and the Fair Usage Policy.
Q5: Can I install it after I land?
Yes, if you can reach Wi-Fi. Installing before the flight is simpler, because the QR download needs a connection.
Q6: Does it work in mainland France?
No. This plan is for Guadeloupe. Buy a separate plan for mainland France, Dominica, Antigua, or Martinique.
Q7: Is there an unlimited option?
Yes. Unlimited plans are listed separately on the same product page, from $11.50 for 3 days.
Q8: Can I share it as a hotspot?
Yes, within the data allowance. Hotspot traffic counts against the same gigabytes, and heavy sharing can hit the Fair Usage Policy.
Q9: What if the QR code fails?
Use the manual activation code in the same email. The phone still has to be unlocked.
Q10: When were these prices checked?
October 2026, against the published variation prices on travelydata.com.
Bottom line
For a week in Guadeloupe, the $4.00 / 1 GB Guanet plan is the one to start with. Step up to 3 GB or 5 GB if you will be off hotel Wi-Fi most of the day. The published speed is 4G, and unlimited is available separately from $11.50.
