Which Guadeloupe eSIM plan fits your trip?

Choose your Guadeloupe eSIM by matching the allowance and validity period to your trip, then compare the selected product details with the local network, band and speed references already shown on this page.

Short trip

1 GB / 7 days

Best for: A short visit with maps, messages and occasional browsing.

This option pairs the 1 GB allowance with a stated validity period of 7 days.

Usage tip: Save maps before longer journeys and use Wi-Fi for large downloads.

Coverage in Guadeloupe

Guadeloupe is a French overseas department; operators use French metropolitan spectrum assignments. B28 (700 MHz) is widely deployed for rural and indoor coverage, which some North American and Asian phones lack.

How to check mobile coverage in Guadeloupe

The Guadeloupe mobile network source is linked below as a public network reference. Check the places on your itinerary where the source offers local detail, then confirm the network information for the selected eSIM product. The operator table on this page provides the country-level reference, while the selected product details identify which network information applies to your plan.

Accommodation and daily stops

Check your accommodation and the places you expect to visit in Guadeloupe. Indoor reception can differ from an outdoor map, so keep the property Wi-Fi details available as well.

Journeys between stops

Review the full route rather than checking only the arrival city. Save tickets, addresses and maps offline before longer road or rail journeys.

Borders and onward travel

Check the selected product scope for every country on your itinerary. Your Guadeloupe plan and a regional plan may have different included destinations and validity periods.

Phone compatibility in Guadeloupe

Compare your phone with 4G bands B1, B3, B7, B20, B28 and 5G bands n78 in the existing Guadeloupe network table. Support for more of the listed bands gives the phone more options when connecting, while the selected product, location and local network conditions determine the service available.

Set up the Guadeloupe eSIM for your trip

Keep the QR code and installation instructions available offline, and complete each step according to the selected product's instructions.

When validity starts: Validity-start rules can differ by product. Check the selected plan details before installation and travel.

  1. Confirm that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before purchase.
  2. Save the QR code or manual installation details somewhere you can reach without mobile data.
  3. Use reliable Wi-Fi to install the profile at the time recommended in the product instructions.
  4. When you are ready to use it, select the travel eSIM for cellular data and apply the stated roaming and APN settings.
  5. Keep roaming disabled on your home line if you want to avoid using its travel data.

Guadeloupe travel guide

Enjoy Guadeloupe Like a Local

Guadeloupe is a French Caribbean region, not an independent island nation. You will hear Creole spoken alongside French. The butterfly-shaped archipelago has two main islands: Basse-Terre, with rainforest and a live volcano, and Grande-Terre, with white-sand beaches and resorts. From the moment you arrive, expect French efficiency and Caribbean warmth. Meals run late; lunch is the main meal. Shops close for a long midday break. Carry cash for small markets and beach vendors. Credit cards work in hotels and larger restaurants but not everywhere. Driving is on the right. Roads are well maintained but can be narrow and winding in the mountains. Learn a few Creole greetings. Locals appreciate the effort. Your trip will be smoother if you respect the slow pace of island life.

Top Attractions in Guadeloupe

Guadeloupe packs a lot of variety into a small area. Here are five essential stops:

  • Parc National de la Guadeloupe - A UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve covering much of Basse-Terre. Hike to the active volcano La Soufrière or the Pitons du Carbet. Trails are steep. Go early to avoid clouds.
  • Îles de la Petite-Terre - Two uninhabited islands east of Grande-Terre. Snorkel with sea turtles and rays. Ferries leave from Saint-François. Book ahead.
  • Pointe-à-Pitre - The main city. Visit the Spice Market and the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Cathedral. Watch your belongings in crowded areas.
  • Plage de la Caravelle - A calm, shallow beach on Grande-Terre. Good for families. Arrive before 10 am to get shade.
  • Pitons du Carbet - Five volcanic peaks in the national park. The hike is demanding. Bring water and sturdy shoes.

Whether you prefer mountains or the Caribbean Sea, Guadeloupe offers both without long drives.

Must-Try Guadeloupean Foods

Guadeloupean cooking blends African, French, Indian, and Caribbean influences. These five dishes are worth seeking out:

  • Accras - Crispy cod fritters seasoned with chives and hot pepper. A common street snack. Try them with a cold beer.
  • Boudin Créole - Spiced blood sausage or white pudding. Often grilled and served with rice or breadfruit. Look for it at roadside stands.
  • Colombo de Poulet - Chicken stewed with a curry-like spice blend. Served with rice and beans. It is milder than Indian curry but deeply flavorful.
  • Lambi - Conch cooked in a tomato-based sauce with lime and thyme. The texture is chewy. Order it in a restaurant where it is freshly prepared.
  • Gâteau de Banane - A dense banana cake. Not sweet like cake. More like a pudding. A common dessert at Creole buffets.

Portions are generous. Share a main course if you are not very hungry.

Best Time to Visit Guadeloupe

The dry season from December to April offers the most reliable sunshine and lower humidity. This is also the busiest and most expensive period. Hotel rates drop from May to November, which is the wet season. Rain usually comes as brief afternoon showers. The risk of hurricanes runs from August to October. If you travel then, buy trip insurance and watch weather alerts. Shoulder months like May and November can be good compromises: fewer crowds, lower prices, and mostly fine weather. Trade winds keep temperatures pleasant year-round, usually between 24°C and 30°C. For hiking in Basse-Terre, avoid the rainiest months of September and October. For beach time on Grande-Terre, December through April is ideal. No matter when you go, pack for sun and sudden rain.

Packing Essentials for Guadeloupe

Packing for Guadeloupe means preparing for sun, rain, and mosquitoes. These five items are essential:

  • High-SPF sunscreen - The Caribbean sun is strong. Reef-safe sunscreen is better for the marine environment. Reapply often.
  • Lightweight, breathable clothing - Cotton and linen work well. A light long-sleeved shirt helps at sunset when mosquitoes come out.
  • Swimwear and water shoes - Many beaches have coral or rocks. Water shoes protect your feet. Bring a second swimsuit so one is always dry.
  • Insect repellent - Mosquitoes and sandflies are active near mangroves and after rain. Repellent with DEET is most effective.
  • Waterproof bag - Sudden tropical downpours happen even in dry season. Protect your phone, passport, and your uPhone eSIM card.

Leave valuables at home. A simple daypack covers most needs.

Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Guadeloupe eSIM

Yes, Guadeloupe and Martinique are both French overseas departments sharing the same mobile operators and spectrum assignments. Your eSIM will work in both without needing a separate plan.

Your eSIM can connect to Orange Caraïbe, Digicel Antilles Françaises Guyane, or Free Caraïbe. The network is selected automatically based on signal strength and availability at your location.

Band 28 is widely used in Guadeloupe for rural and indoor coverage. Without it, you may experience weaker signal in remote areas or inside buildings, especially outside main towns.

This eSIM is designed for Guadeloupe only. Saint Martin, though partly French, is a separate territory with different network arrangements. You would need a separate plan for that island.

No, because this is an eSIM, not a local physical SIM. No ID or local registration is required. You can install it before arrival and activate it when you land.

Compare 1 GB / 7 days, 3 GB / 15 days and 10 GB or more / 30 days. Use the shorter profiles for lighter maps and messaging use, then compare the larger allowance for streaming, video calls or work apps.

The start rule is product-specific. Review the selected plan details before installing it so you know whether any action is required before arrival.
