French Guiana travel data eSIM
What is a French Guiana eSIM?
French Guiana is an overseas region of France on South America's northern coast. An eSIM lets you access mobile data immediately upon arrival in Cayenne or other areas. Install the profile on your unlocked phone before departure. The data allowance activates only when you connect to local networks in the territory. This setup supports navigation, communication, and online services while you explore the rainforests or urban centers, keeping your device connected without needing a physical local SIM card.
Your French Guiana eSIM connects to Orange 5G networks. This operator provides the mobile infrastructure for the region. Data usage is tracked against your selected plan limit, such as 1GB or 20GB. The connection begins once your device registers with the local network. This allows you to use apps for maps, messaging, and browsing while visiting the capital or national parks. The plan is designed for single-country use within French Guiana borders.

Local networks
Which networks you connect to in French Guiana
The eSIM connects to Orange 5G networks in French Guiana. Coverage availability depends entirely on the operator's infrastructure in your specific location. Urban areas like Cayenne typically have better network presence than remote forest zones. Since this is a data-only plan, you will use your mobile data for internet access. The connection quality and availability vary based on where you are within the territory relative to the operator's towers.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the French Guiana eSIM use?
The plan connects to Orange 5G networks. For travellers, this means accessing mobile data through this specific operator's infrastructure. Availability depends on where you are within French Guiana, as network presence varies by location.
Does the eSIM work in neighboring countries?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in French Guiana. It does not work in Suriname or Brazil. If you are travelling to multiple countries, look for a regional plan that includes those specific destinations.
Which plan size suits a trip to Cayenne and Kourou?
As a rough guide, a 5GB or 10GB plan may suit a short trip. Heavier data use for maps and streaming might require 20GB. Choose based on your expected daily usage during your time in these two cities.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
