Short trip to Guadeloupe where hotel wifi does most of the work? The match score puts HelloRoam first here, 86 to Nomad's 83. Nomad is cheaper per gigabyte, $3.00 against $3.50. On price and nothing else, Nomad is the buy. No plan this small exists at Holafly, which is why it sits at 31. A 3 GB plan for Guadeloupe runs $2.70.

Long stay in Guadeloupe with real work on the line? The match score puts Holafly first here, 96 to HelloRoam's 66. The cheapest gigabyte at this usage is also Holafly's, $1.00. The provider our rubric puts first scores 66 here, which is not enough. With Saily and Nomad there is no unlimited option at all, so you size up once and live with it. A 10 GB plan for Guadeloupe runs $6.42.

The rate column converts each provider's published entry price into a cost per gigabyte at the usage the tier assumes. It is the single scale on which a daily unlimited price and a per-GB price can be set side by side. Published entry rates: Airalo $4.50/GB, Saily $3.99/GB, Holafly $2.99/day, Nomad $3.00/GB, HelloRoam $3.50/GB. Those are catalogue floors, not prices for Guadeloupe. The plan prices quoted above come from HelloRoam's own catalogue, the only per-destination price feed this site holds. The other four publish rates and no figure for Guadeloupe that we can stand behind, so we quote none for them.

Who you're connecting to
In Guadeloupe, the underlying carrier matters more than the brand on your plan.
Which carrier serves your eSIM in Guadeloupe? The answer changes your speed, coverage area, and per-GB cost. Orange is the 5G network most visitors to Guadeloupe spend the trip on, strongest in the metro areas. The towers are the same whoever sells you the plan. The differences sit in plan shape, refund cover and support. Since the underlying network is fixed, the useful comparison is plan shape and what happens when a plan does not fit. Holafly sells unlimited daily data and no per-GB tier at all. Its published rate starts at $2.99/day, which beats every fixed plan here past 1.5 GB a day and loses below it. Working off cafe and airport WiFi in Guadeloupe? Saily encrypts the connection without a second app, from a published $3.99/GB across 200 destinations. Nomad is the price play: a published $3.00/GB, the lowest fixed floor of the five, on 200 destinations. No unlimited tier, no bundles, email support only. HelloRoam publishes the widest support access of the five, 63 languages on chat, WhatsApp and email around the clock, plus 180 days to refund an unactivated eSIM. It does not win price at $3.50/GB. Since all 1 carrier in Guadeloupe run 5G, your usage tier drives the plan choice more than the network name.
HelloRoam publishes its local operator list for Guadeloupe, and the next section prints that list in full. The other four providers publish no equivalent list, so the cards below carry published facts about each provider instead of a carrier we would be guessing at.

What runs behind a Guadeloupe eSIM
The published attachment list for Guadeloupe holds one local operator. That operator is Orange. 117 of the 185 destinations HelloRoam publishes work this way.
One operator means no fallback. A weak Orange signal in a valley or a basement leaves you offline until you move. Save offline maps for Guadeloupe before you fly.
HelloRoam marks 5G on Orange. Operator count does not change your plan size, so pick the tier by trip length.
| Local operator | Network labels |

| Orange | 5G |
Where this table came from: HelloRoam's own destination catalogue, read on 17 August 2026. That catalogue publishes an operator list for every destination it sells, and we copied it. Nobody ran a speed test to build it, and no throughput number sits behind any row.
What uses your data in Guadeloupe
Activity-level data breakdown for a Guadeloupe trip.
Streaming
Streaming moves a traveler into the heavy band, which the published benchmark puts at 3 GB a day. 7 days in Guadeloupe at that rate comes to 21 GB, and the 20GB plan at $14.19 is the smallest Guadeloupe tier that clears it. Downloading episodes over hotel WiFi keeps the day inside the 1.5 GB moderate band instead.
Navigation
Navigation alone keeps a Guadeloupe trip on the 0.5 GB light band. That is 4 GB across 7 days, which the 10GB plan at $6.42 covers. Save the Guadeloupe map region over WiFi before you fly and the same trip draws less.
Social media
The moderate benchmark is 1.5 GB a day, which is what social apps plus messaging draw. Across 7 days in Guadeloupe that is 11 GB. The 20GB plan at $14.19 covers the trip.
Work tools
Remote work in Guadeloupe sits on the 3 GB heavy band once video calls start. 21 GB covers 7 days. The 20GB plan at $14.19 is the matching tier, and a laptop hotspot keeps it there rather than below it.
Your Guadeloupe pricing notes
Guadeloupe eSIM plans range from $1.03 (1GB) to $14.19 (20GB). Full breakdown: 1GB at $1.03 ($1.03/GB), 3GB at $2.70 ($0.90/GB), 10GB at $6.42 ($0.64/GB), 20GB at $14.19 ($0.71/GB).

That covers basic maps and messaging on a short trip to Guadeloupe. No unlimited daily plans are available for Guadeloupe. The largest fixed plan is 20GB at $14.19. Light users in Guadeloupe start at $1.03 for 1GB on the catalogue. Nomad advertises a lower floor, $3.00/GB, but publishes no Guadeloupe price.

Regional bundle vs single-country plan
Travelers visiting 2-3 countries in Caribbean save by buying one regional eSIM instead of separate Guadeloupe plans. A single-country 1GB plan costs $1.03. If your total trip exceeds 7 days across borders, the regional bundle often wins on per-GB cost.
How to activate your Guadeloupe eSIM
If you travel as a moderate user, grab a plan covering 1.5GB/day for Guadeloupe. Install the eSIM profile by scanning the QR code from your phone's cellular settings before departure.
Rename the new eSIM line to "Travel Data" so you can tell it apart from your home SIM. Set it as the default for mobile data and keep your original line for calls.
When you land in Guadeloupe, your phone connects to Orange's 5G network within seconds. No store visit, no passport check, no SIM tray.
Common Guadeloupe eSIM questions
Direct answers grounded in real plan data and carrier coverage.
What plan do I need?
For 7 days in Guadeloupe, you need between 1GB (light use) and 25GB (heavy use). The 3GB plan at $2.70 covers most travelers at $0.39/day on a local network. HelloRoam matches that shape and publishes an entry rate of $3.50/GB.
How much data do I need?
You need between 1GB and 25GB for 7 days in Guadeloupe. Light users (maps and chat) should get the 1GB tier at $1.03. Most travelers fit the 3GB at $2.70 for social media, navigation, and messaging on a local network. Those are catalogue prices; HelloRoam fits the shape best of the 5 we score. WiFi in Guadeloupe is available at hotels and some restaurants, offsetting about 10% of usage.
Which provider is cheapest?
Guadeloupe eSIM prices start at $1.03 for 1GB ($1.03/GB) on the catalogue, the only per-destination feed we hold. Larger plans drop the rate: 20GB costs $14.19 ($0.71/GB). On published floors, Nomad is cheapest at $3.00/GB, though it quotes no Guadeloupe figure. All plans connect to Orange.
Is an eSIM worth it?
An eSIM is worth it for Guadeloupe. WiFi in Guadeloupe covers hotels and some public areas, but an eSIM keeps you connected everywhere. The 20GB plan at $14.19 gives you 11GB on a local network for 7 days. That is $95.81 less than carrier roaming.
eSIM vs SIM card?
Use both in Guadeloupe: keep your home SIM for calls and add an eSIM for data. Guadeloupe eSIM plans start at $1.03 for 1GB on a local network, a catalogue price. That avoids the 15-30 minutes airport SIM queue and the $15-25 counter price.
How to set up?
On iPhone (iOS 17+): Settings, Cellular, Add eSIM, scan the QR your provider sends. On Android: Settings, Network, SIMs, Add eSIM, scan or enter the activation code. The plan connects to Orange in Guadeloupe automatically. Guadeloupe plans start at $1.03 for 1GB on the catalogue.

A backpacker in Guadeloupe needs 7 GB for maps and messaging over 14 days. The 10 GB plan covers that at $6.42, or $0.64 per GB, on a local network. Of the five we score, HelloRoam publishes the plan shape that fits, at an entry rate of $3.50/GB.

Your questions, answered
How many gigabytes per day should I budget in Guadeloupe?
Budget 0.5 GB a day for maps and messaging, 1.5 GB a day for social media and browsing, and 3 GB a day if you stream. Over a 7-day Guadeloupe trip those rates come to 4 GB, 11 GB and 21 GB. Most visitors land on the middle rate, so the 20 GB plan at $14.19 covers the moderate figure on a local network. The 20 GB plan at $14.19 is the ceiling for heavy days. Pick the daily rate that matches your habits at home, because a trip rarely changes them.
Which plan shape fits my Guadeloupe trip, fixed tiers or unlimited days?
Guadeloupe publishes no unlimited-day option, so every buyer here picks a fixed tier. If your 7 days run to maps, messaging and evening browsing, the 20 GB plan at $14.19 matches the 11 GB that pace uses. If you stream daily, take the 20 GB plan at $14.19 instead. Shape availability differs by provider: Holafly publishes the unlimited-daily shape as standard, not per destination. HelloRoam and Airalo publish unlimited days in some destinations and not others. Nomad and Saily sell gigabytes by the bundle, with no daily plan at all. Holafly publishes no fixed per-GB tier at all, which is the trade for the unlimited shape. Holafly is the one to look at in destinations that do sell unlimited days.
Which eSIM plan fits a light or heavy data user in Guadeloupe?
Light users in Guadeloupe who check maps, send messages, and browse briefly use about 4 GB over 7 days. The 10 GB plan at $6.42 ($0.64/GB) is the right fit. Moderate users average 1.5 GB a day and need the 20 GB plan at $14.19 ($0.71/GB). Heavy users streaming video or video-calling use 21 GB or more, and the 20 GB plan at $14.19 ($0.71/GB) is the largest tier sold here, so a heavy pace needs a second purchase or an unlimited plan.
What should I check on my phone before I buy a Guadeloupe plan?
Check three things: the model, the EID and the lock status. iPhone XS (2018) and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later all handle eSIM. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number below the IMEI, which is the line that confirms support. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Pass all three and Guadeloupe's 5G network connects on its own once the profile installs, with no SIM tray involved. Whether a page calls it eSIM, e-SIM or e SIM, it is the same embedded profile.
What starts the clock on a Guadeloupe plan, the purchase or the landing?
Three events, one clock. Purchase: no countdown. Installing the QR code over WiFi: still no countdown. First connection to a Guadeloupe mobile network: the countdown begins. That separation is what lets you set the phone up at home and arrive already connected. The 1 GB plan at $1.03 suits a short stay. The 20 GB plan at $14.19 suits a longer one. Buy within 3 days of departure and the window lines up with the trip.
Is Guadeloupe well-covered by travel eSIM networks in Caribbean?
Guadeloupe network facts for Caribbean travelers: 1 carrier (Orange), 5G top speed, dependable urban coverage, thinner rural coverage. Travel eSIMs use those carriers rather than a network of their own, so in-country coverage is close to identical between providers. The 10 GB plan at $6.42 ($0.64/GB) fits a standard Caribbean visit. The real difference sits at the catalogue level. On published reach the order runs Airalo, Nomad and Saily at 200, HelloRoam at 186 and Holafly at 160.
Which activities use the most mobile data in Guadeloupe?
The photo sharer and the navigator both live inside the 1.5 GB moderate band in Guadeloupe. The streamer and the remote worker both live on the 3 GB heavy band. That is the whole split, and it is the split the tier ladder is built around. The 10 GB plan at $6.42 covers a moderate traveller on a local network, at $0.64/GB.
How do I match a Guadeloupe plan tier to the number of nights I am staying?
The arithmetic is one line: nights multiplied by 1.5 GB a day equals the data you need. Match the result against the Guadeloupe tiers: 1 to 2 nights takes the 3 GB plan at $2.70 ($0.90/GB); 3 to 6 nights takes the 10 GB plan at $6.42 ($0.64/GB); 7 to 13 nights takes the 20 GB plan at $14.19 ($0.71/GB). Add 20% for streaming days. The 10 GB plan holds the lowest per-GB rate here at $0.64/GB. Round up rather than down at every step, since unused data costs you cents and running out costs you an evening.
What is the data ceiling if Guadeloupe has no unlimited plan?
The ceiling is the 20 GB plan at $14.19 ($0.71/GB), because no unlimited daily option is sold for Guadeloupe right now. Size to 25% above what you expect to use, since unused data does not roll over and running out mid-trip costs more to fix. Shapes differ across the five providers we score. Holafly publishes the unlimited-daily shape as standard, not per destination. HelloRoam and Airalo publish unlimited days in some destinations and not others. Nomad and Saily sell gigabytes by the bundle, with no daily plan at all. Holafly publishes no fixed per-GB tier at all, which is the trade for the unlimited shape.
Which provider backs up a mis-sized Guadeloupe plan?
Two things back up a wrong choice, and both are published. The first is the refund window on an unactivated eSIM: HelloRoam and Holafly publish 180 days, Nomad and Saily 30 days and Airalo 14 days. The second is who answers when something needs fixing: HelloRoam publishes support in 63 languages, Airalo 12, Holafly 10, Nomad 2 and Saily 1, and HelloRoam takes live chat, WhatsApp and email, around the clock. Neither helps once the plan is running in Guadeloupe, so the useful move is to size correctly and buy close to departure. Sizing up first is still cheaper than any refund: the 10 GB plan holds the lowest rate here at $0.64/GB.
