Our recommendation · CaribbeanOne Guadeloupe eSIM Pick, Sized for 7 Days (2026)
HelloRoam runs 31 checkout currencies. Airalo, Holafly, Nomad and Saily run one each. 11 GB covers 7 days of moderate use in Guadeloupe, and the 20 GB tier at $14.19 clears it, against a list naming Orange. Airalo wins reach, 200+ destinations to 186.
For a 7-day Guadeloupe trip, HelloRoam scores highest of the 5 we compare, at 8.7 out of 10 on the published rubric. The 20GB plan for $14.19 handles 11GB of moderate use (maps, social media, browsing) on the 5G network on the ground. HelloRoam pairs a 180-day refund window with support in 63 languages. It refunds an unactivated eSIM for 180 days.
Our recommendation
A 7-day trip to Guadeloupe at 1.5GB/day means 11GB of data. The 10GB plan covers that target at the lowest per-GB cost across all available tiers.
The Pick: 10GB at $6.42
#1 RecommendationThe 10GB plan costs $6.42 in the HelloRoam catalogue and connects to Orange's 5G network. Per-GB rate: $0.64/GB. That is the only per-destination price feed this site holds, so it is the only destination price we quote.
On plan shape and our published rubric, HelloRoam is the best fit of the 5 providers we score for a trip this size. Its own published entry rate is $3.50/GB, and it rates 8.7/10.
Who this plan fits
Moderate data users on a 7-day trip. You browse social feeds, navigate with maps, send photos, and check email. That adds up to 11GB.
Why this plan
Trip-length match
1.5GB per day over 7 days totals 11GB. The 10GB plan matches your data requirement. That buffer covers photo uploads, group chats, and the occasional video call.

| 3GB | $2.70 | $0.90/GB | Light use (maps, email) |

Provider score breakdown
HelloRoam scores 22.3 of 25 across the 5 rubric dimensions for Guadeloupe. 180-day refund window on unactivated eSIMs, tied for the longest. Support in 63 languages, more than the other four combined. The main trade-off: regional multi-country bundles are not available yet.
Network routing
Orange is the single operator on the published Guadeloupe list. HelloRoam marks the 5G capability label against that list, and the list is alphabetical, so it names no routing target. Download offline maps for Guadeloupe before departure.
Plan recommendation by usage tier
Each tier maps to a specific plan and provider for Guadeloupe.
Light user
Maps + messagingIf you only check maps and send messages in Guadeloupe, budget 4GB for 7 days. The catalogue prices the 10GB tier at $6.42 on a local network. HelloRoam scores 86 out of 100 at this tier, the highest of the 5 we score, on plan shape and cost per gigabyte at 0.5GB a day. Support there is live chat, WhatsApp and email in 63 languages, around the clock.
Moderate user
Social + browsingThe moderate profile (1.5GB/day for social media, maps and light browsing) needs 11GB over 7 days in Guadeloupe. The 20GB plan runs $14.19 on the Guadeloupe catalogue, on the 5G network on the ground. Holafly wins this tier on the match formula, 96 out of 100, at a published $2.99/day. If you are unsure which profile you are, it is probably this one. Round up a tier when in doubt.
Heavy user
Streaming + callsHeavy-use verdict for Guadeloupe: 21GB over 7 days at 3GB/day. Without an unlimited option in Guadeloupe, the 20GB plan at $14.19 is the largest fixed tier. Rebuy when depleted and offload everything non-urgent to WiFi. Holafly scores 96 out of 100 at this tier. Limitation: no per-GB tier, so light users pay for data they will not use.
Your Guadeloupe trip type, matched to a plan
Weekend, vacation, business, or backpacking. Each trip profile maps to a different plan.
Weekend (2-3 days)
A 2-3 day Guadeloupe weekend uses 5GB for moderate travelers. Grab the 10GB plan at $6.42 ($0.64/GB). Per-GB rates reward big bundles, but a weekend cannot use one. Smallest sufficient plan wins. Light weekend users (email and maps) fit the 1GB plan at $1.03.
Vacation (7-14 days)
A 10-day vacation in Guadeloupe hits 15GB at moderate use. Social photo sharing moves the day from the 0.5 GB light band to the 1.5 GB moderate one. HelloRoam's 20GB plan at $14.19 covers the trip, and the 5G network on the ground carries it. Pre-download restaurant guides and city maps on WiFi to hold the day on the light band.
Business (3-7 days)
Business trip to Guadeloupe (5 days): 15GB on the published 3 GB heavy band, which is what video calls, email sync and ride-hailing add up to. The 20GB plan at $14.19 covers 5 days if you limit video calls to 2 hours/day. Run large file transfers over hotel WiFi and save mobile data for on-the-go calls.
Backpacking (10-30 days)
Backpacking through Guadeloupe (14+ days): 12GB at 0.8GB/day for maps, hostel apps, and messaging. The 20GB plan at $14.19 ($0.71/GB) fits budget travelers on the 5G network on the ground. Ultra-light backpackers (email and maps only) start with 1GB at $1.03. Grab offline maps before the last town with WiFi. That one habit saves more data than anything else on a long trip.
Your Guadeloupe provider comparison
Which eSIM provider fits your Guadeloupe trip? The answer depends on your usage tier, trip length, and priorities. Airalo's case is breadth. Nobody else we score publishes 200 destinations, and nobody else sells a bundle that crosses borders on one eSIM. Against that: $4.50/GB to start, dearer than all four rivals, and 14 days to change your mind. Our price feed holds no unlimited rate for Guadeloupe, and Holafly publishes no fixed per-GB tier anywhere, so it is the weakest fit of the five here. Holafly's support is live chat and email in 10 languages, around the clock, the widest live-channel cover after HelloRoam's. Pick Saily if privacy ranks above plan choice. Nord Security's VPN rides on every plan from $3.99/GB published, and the app does not sell your data. Saily publishes 200 destinations, behind only Airalo, and support is email in 1 language, with no round-the-clock hours. Price your Guadeloupe trip against Nomad first, because its $3.00/GB floor undercuts every rival here. Then decide whether you can live without an unlimited tier, without regional bundles, and with support that is email in 2 languages, with no round-the-clock hours. HelloRoam covers Guadeloupe with fixed plans from a published $3.50/GB plus unlimited daily on popular destinations. Its Guadeloupe catalogue starts at $1.03 for 1GB, and that catalogue is the per-destination price feed this whole site reads. Trips move, and dates slip. The 180-day refund window on unactivated eSIMs covers you. Limitations: no regional bundles, and Airalo reaches 14 more destinations.
Why the rubric leader finishes first
HelloRoam tops the rubric for Guadeloupe at 8.7 out of 10, computed the same way for all 5. The case for it is what happens when a plan does not fit: 180 days to refund an unactivated eSIM, and support you can reach, live chat, WhatsApp and email in 63 languages, around the clock. The case against it is reach and price. Airalo covers 200 destinations and sells regional bundles HelloRoam does not. Nomad starts at $3.00/GB. Both of those are real wins and neither is ours.
Alternative options
Different traveler profiles need different plans. Here are runner-ups for each use case.
1GB at $1.03
The 1GB plan covers 2 days on the published 0.5 GB light band. Best for budget travelers who stay on WiFi when possible. Costs $1.03/GB.
20GB at $14.19
The 20GB tier handles 7 days of heavy use at 3GB/day. Best for digital nomads and business travelers who run video calls daily. Costs $0.71/GB.
Regional bundle alternative
If your trip includes neighboring countries, the Airalo Americas bundle saves you from buying separate eSIMs. For Guadeloupe-only trips, a country plan gives better per-GB value.

Published daily bands for a 7-day trip
| Band | GB per day | 7-day total | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light | 0.5 | 4 GB | Maps, messaging, boarding passes |
| Moderate | 1.5 | 11 GB | The above plus social feeds and browsing |
| Heavy | 3 | 21 GB | Streaming, video calls, laptop hotspot |
HelloRoam sizes a Guadeloupe plan against those three bands and nothing else. A 7-day trip runs 4 GB on the light band, 11 GB on the moderate one and 21 GB on the heavy one, so the gap between the cheapest and the safest tier is 17 GB of headroom. Pick the band your phone habits already sit in at home.
Your calibrated Guadeloupe data budget
Your Guadeloupe data budget depends on more than usage habits. Local conditions shift the number up or down. Adjusted daily estimate: 1.5GB/day (down from the 1.5GB baseline). Over 7 days: 11GB total on a local network. The 20GB plan at $14.19 ($0.71/GB) covers this adjusted budget.

Common Guadeloupe eSIM questions
Direct answers to the questions travelers ask most about Guadeloupe eSIM plans.
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.
Best plan for 7 days?
The 20GB eSIM is the top pick for 7 days in Guadeloupe. It provides 20GB for $14.19 on a local network, enough for 11GB of moderate usage. At $2.03/day, it undercuts carrier day passes by a wide margin. Guadeloupe sells no unlimited-day option, so size the fixed tier up if you stream.
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.
Your questions, answered
What is the best eSIM plan for Guadeloupe in 2026?
The 10GB plan at $6.42 on a local network, a HelloRoam catalogue price. It covers 7 days of moderate use at $0.64/GB. 4 plans are available across 5 providers.
How do I choose between fixed and unlimited data for Guadeloupe?
Guadeloupe currently offers fixed data plans only. The 20GB plan at $14.19 covers most heavy-use trips. Buy a second eSIM if you run out.
Which eSIM provider is best for Guadeloupe?
HelloRoam scores 22.3 of 25 for Guadeloupe across per-GB value, plan flexibility, buyer protection, support access, and destination reach, which is first of the five on this site's weighting. 180-day refund window on unactivated eSIMs, tied for the longest. Regional multi-country bundles are not available yet.
Can I switch plans mid-trip in Guadeloupe?
Yes. Buy a second eSIM through the provider app while in Guadeloupe. Most phones support 8+ eSIM profiles. Delete the expired plan to free a slot. You do not lose your home number.
Should I buy a Guadeloupe eSIM or a regional bundle?
A single-country plan at $0.64/GB beats regional pricing for Guadeloupe-only trips. Multi-country routes through Caribbean save with the Airalo Americas bundle.
How far in advance should I buy my Guadeloupe eSIM?
Buy 1 to 3 days before departure. Install the QR code over WiFi at home. The validity timer starts at first network connection in Guadeloupe, not at purchase. This gives you time to troubleshoot any installation issues before your flight.
Is the 10GB plan enough for streaming in Guadeloupe?
Streaming puts a traveler on the published 3 GB heavy band. Over 7 days that is 21GB. The 10GB plan falls short for daily streaming. Heavy streamers should consider 20GB.
What network does my Guadeloupe eSIM connect to?
Orange is the single operator on the published Guadeloupe list. The published list carries the 5G capability label, and it does not record which operator a given handset selects. Save offline maps for Guadeloupe before you fly.
