From a weekend in Cayenne to a month of exploring, here is how the plans line up. - **A city break in Cayenne or Rémire-Montjoly:** 1 GB a day for 3 days covers standard use: maps, messages, social media and music. - **A fortnight touring Kourou and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni:** 10 GB for 30 days covers standard use across two weeks, so you're not counting megabytes. - **A week of streaming and sharing your hotspot:** 2 GB a day for 7 days suits heavy use. - **A month-long stay around French Guiana:** 20 GB for 30 days covers standard use for the whole trip. Most plans can be [topped up](/help/top-up-esim) if you run low, and the longest plan lasts 30 days. ## Will my eSIM have signal in French Guiana? Your eSIM joins Orange, and in French Guiana Orange can use 5G. Your phone picks the network by itself, so there's nothing to set up. The coast and main towns are covered, but signal is very limited or absent in the interior rainforest, so download offline maps before you head inland. Your data reaches the internet through France, the Netherlands or the United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. You can read more in our [IP address guide](/help/ip-address-another-country). On daily plans, your speed drops to our fair-use speed once the day's allowance is used up. ## Using your phone in French Guiana: data tips - **Arriving:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, then switch it on when you land at Cayenne Félix Eboué (CAY). Keep data roaming on for your eSIM line. [Here's how to turn it on](/help/turn-on-data-roaming). - **Getting connected:** Your eSIM uses the Orange network, which offers 5G. Plans run up to 30 days, and most can be topped up if your trip stretches. - **Staying in touch:** WhatsApp is the app to have ready for messages. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, and the [WhatsApp help page](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) shows how to keep both. - **Data for your trip:** Light use, such as maps and messages, is about 0.25 GB a day. Heavy use, with streaming or a hotspot, is about 1.8 GB a day. Check how much data you need before you choose. - **Caribbean option:** Caribbean eSIMs also cover French Guiana, so a regional plan may suit a wider trip. ## Questions ### How much is an eSIM for French Guiana?
