What a Gucom eSIM costs
The cheapest published plan on the Guyana travel eSIM is $7.00 for 1 GB valid 7 days. A 2 GB / 15 day plan is $13.00, a 3 GB / 30 day plan is $18.00, and a 5 GB / 30 day plan is $28.00. The largest bucket is 10 GB for 30 days at $46.00. Unlimited data is listed separately on the same product, from $25.50 for 3 days, and it stops at 10 days.
Network
The plan is sold under the operator name Gucom and the supported country is Guyana. 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. Guyana is covered as one country on this plan, including Georgetown, Paramaribo Road, New Amsterdam, and the Linden highway. Signal thins out in the interior and along the river routes, so download offline maps before a trip inland. It does not cover Suriname, Venezuela, or Brazil, and the Takutu bridge crossing to Bonfim needs a separate plan.
How much data you actually need
Maps, chat, and boarding passes sit inside 1 GB for a short stay. Photos and short video push a week toward 3 GB. A month of 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 $25.50 for 3 days, $36.50 for 5 days, $59.50 for 7 days and $68.00 for 10 days. It stops at 10 days: there is no 15 or 30 day unlimited plan here. Unlimited still sits under a Fair Usage Policy, so a hotspot left on all day can be slowed. At $25.50 for three days it is the most expensive way to buy this product, and 10 GB for 30 days costs $46.00, so take 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 Gucom 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 Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO), about forty kilometres south of Georgetown. 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 “Guyana”.
- 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 Guyana eSIM?
$7.00 for 1 GB, valid 7 days, on the Gucom plan.
Q2: Which operator is on the plan?
Gucom. The supported country is Guyana.
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: Will it work outside Guyana?
No. This plan is for Guyana. Buy a separate plan if the trip continues into Suriname, Venezuela, or Brazil.
Q7: Is there an unlimited option?
Yes, but only up to 10 days. Unlimited starts at $25.50 for 3 days and ends at $68.00 for 10 days, with no 15 or 30 day step.
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 Guyana, the $7.00 / 1 GB Gucom 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. Unlimited is the expensive option here and stops at 10 days.
