Dominica carries 1 operator on 4G LTE with 6 plan sizes to match each tier.
Each traveler type maps to a specific plan in Dominica. If you only use email and maps, the 5GB plan at $34.71 matches your 4GB target. Moderate travelers pay $34.71 for 5GB and get the best balance between data size and per-GB cost ($6.94/GB).

Which activities use the most mobile data in Dominica?

Heavy video use adds 20% to those estimates. The largest plan offers the best per-GB value at $6.34/GB.
