Coverage & network in French Guiana
French Guiana is straightforward for eSIM travellers — the eSIM attaches to whichever partner network is strongest where you’re standing, coverage follows the cities and main routes, and the plan runs on the phone already in your pocket.
Plans run from $11.50 for 1 GB over 7 days up to $87.50 for 20 GB over 30 days. If you’re working while you travel, start at 10 GB — a video call burns roughly 1 GB an hour on its own.
Expect 4G/LTE rather than 5G. That is plenty for maps, messaging, ride-hailing and streaming, and it is the technology with the most consistent footprint outside the main towns. Tethering is allowed on every French Guiana plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Crossing borders on the same trip? The Latin America plan covers 17 destinations on one profile from $22.50. Otherwise there are separate plans for Venezuela from $13, Argentina from $9 and Bolivia from $10.50.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a French Guiana plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email in seconds — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.
Travelling beyond French Guiana?
One Latin America plan covers 17 countries from $22.50 — worth it from the third border.
French Guiana eSIM questions
Which network does the French Guiana eSIM use?
We don't publish a single operator name for French Guiana, because the profile can attach to more than one partner network and pick whichever is strongest where you are. In practice that means you get the best available signal rather than being locked to one operator's weak spots.
Will I get 5G in French Guiana?
No. French Guiana plans run on 4G/LTE, which is what the network covers reliably. For maps, messaging, calls over data and streaming the difference is not something you'll notice.
How much data do I actually need for French Guiana?
As a rough guide: navigation and messaging burn around 100–200 MB a day, social media roughly 500 MB an hour, and video calls about 1 GB an hour. A short trip fits inside the 3 GB plan ($23); a fortnight of heavier use is closer to 10 GB ($53).
When does my French Guiana plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in French Guiana, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the 1 GB plan then gives you 7 days from arrival and the larger plans 30 days.
Can I use my French Guiana eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every French Guiana plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in French Guiana?
Yes — that's the main reason to use an eSIM rather than a local SIM. Your home line stays active for calls, SMS and two-factor codes; the French Guiana eSIM sits alongside it as a data-only line. Leave data roaming off for your home line to avoid a surprise bill.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a French Guiana eSIM?
No. The plan roams on a partner network, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in French Guiana?
You can top up from the same page — buy another French Guiana plan and it queues behind the current one on the same eSIM profile. There's no need to reinstall anything or scan a second QR code.
I'm also visiting Venezuela and Argentina — do I need separate eSIMs?
Not necessarily. The Latin America plan covers 17 destinations including French Guiana on a single profile from $22.50. If French Guiana is the bulk of the trip, a country plan plus a top-up is usually cheaper; if you're crossing several borders, the regional plan wins.
Will my phone work with a French Guiana eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
