Your Guyana eSIM in two questions
Which Guyana eSIM plan do I need?
Match your plan to how long you stay and how you'll use your phone, and check how much data you need if you're unsure.
- A city break in Georgetown: Three days of maps, messages and snaps in the capital suits 3 GB for 15 days, which covers social media, music and some video.
- A fortnight touring: For two weeks from Georgetown to Kaieteur Falls and back, 10 GB for 30 days suits standard use, with social media, maps and music.
- A long stay: For a full month, 20 GB for 30 days suits standard use, with social media, music and some video.
- A business trip: For a week of heavy use, with your laptop on hotspot, 2 GB a day for 7 days is the one to pick.
Most plans can be topped up, and the longest plan runs for 30 days.

Will my eSIM have signal in Guyana?
Your eSIM joins Digicel in Guyana, and your phone picks it up by itself, so there's nothing to switch on or choose. Digicel runs on 4G, which is plenty for WhatsApp, maps and everyday browsing.
Your data reaches the internet through a United States address, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. You can read more on the IP address help page. Daily plans slow to 512 Kbps once you've used that day's allowance, so keep an eye on heavy use. Most plans can be topped up, so adding more mid-trip is easy.
How much data do you need in Guyana?
Light: maps, messages, email (about 0.25 GB a day). Standard: plus social, music, some video (about 0.7 GB a day). Heavy: plus streaming, video calls, hotspot (about 1.8 GB a day).

Using your phone in Guyana: data tips
Landing at Cheddi Jagan: Cheddi Jagan (GEO) is where your eSIM comes alive. Install it at home on Wi-Fi first, then switch it on when you land. Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line before you fly.
Your network: Your eSIM runs on Digicel's 4G network. There's no 5G in Guyana, so 4G is what you'll use.
Staying in touch: Message friends and family on WhatsApp, and keep your home number on for calls and texts. Here's how to keep WhatsApp and your home number.
Data, plainly: Standard use, with social media, music and some video, is about 0.7 GB a day, so a week comes to about 4.9 GB. Heavy use, with streaming and hotspot, is about 1.8 GB a day. Most plans can be topped up, and once your daily allowance is used, speeds drop to 512 Kbps.
Guyana eSIM questions
How much is an eSIM for Guyana?
Guyana eSIMs start at £7.99 for 500 MB a day over 1 day. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £52.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.
Which networks does the Guyana eSIM use?
Your eSIM connects to Digicel in Guyana. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.
When does my Guyana eSIM start?
Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in Guyana, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying.
Can I top up my Guyana eSIM?
Yes. Most Guyana plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones.
Why does my IP address show another country?
Guyana plans route your data through United States, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Guyana are not affected.
Does it come with a phone number?
Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data.
What if my plans change?
Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page.
Is there 5G in Guyana?
No, there isn't 5G in Guyana. Digicel runs 4G there, so your phone will show 4G rather than the 5G symbol you may be used to at home.
Can I use WhatsApp in Guyana?
Yes, WhatsApp runs on your eSIM data in Guyana, so you can keep in touch with home as you normally would. Light use, such as maps, messages and email, is about 0.25 GB a day.
Should I set up my eSIM before I land at Cheddi Jagan airport?
Yes, set it up at home before you fly, so you're not hunting for a QR code at arrivals. Then switch it on once you land at Cheddi Jagan (GEO).
Will my data slow down in Guyana?
It can. Once you've used up a daily allowance, your connection drops to 512 Kbps, which suits messages far better than video. If you want a set amount each day, choose a daily plan.
Can I share my Guyana eSIM data with my laptop?
Yes, your phone can share its data as a hotspot. Heavy use, which covers streaming and hotspot, is about 1.8 GB a day, so a laptop can use up data quickly.
