French Guiana travel data guide
A French Guiana eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for French Guiana that you install before you fly. Plans in French Guiana run on Orange, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 18 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Caribbean eSIM covers French Guiana and 24 other countries on one plan, from $6.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in French Guiana, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in French Guiana from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
French Guiana FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in French Guiana?
It connects wherever Orange has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in French Guiana, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in French Guiana?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Which network does the French Guiana eSIM use?
The French Guiana eSIM connects to Orange, which the plan details list with 5G. Depending on the plan, the network type is 3G/4G, 3G/4G/5G or 4G/5G. Look at the label on the plan card if 5G access matters to you.
How much prepaid data do I need for two weeks in French Guiana?
For two weeks in French Guiana, 3 GB for 15 days suits maps, messaging and some browsing. Heavy users should take an unlimited 15 day plan, which gives 1 GB or 3 GB per day at full speed before slowing down.
Does the eSIM work in Suriname or Brazil if I cross the border?
No, a French Guiana plan works only in French Guiana. For a border crossing you need a separate plan for that country. Turn the eSIM line off before you cross if you do not want the phone searching for a network.
When do the days on my French Guiana plan begin?
They begin when the eSIM first connects to a network in French Guiana. Paying for the plan and installing it at home do not count. You can set everything up a month ahead and still get the full number of days.
Do I need to remove my physical SIM?
No, leave your physical SIM where it is. The French Guiana eSIM is added as a second line. You choose in settings which line handles mobile data, and your original SIM keeps handling calls and texts.
Can I tether a laptop in French Guiana?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all French Guiana plans. Laptop traffic counts against your allowance. On an unlimited plan it uses up the daily full speed amount faster, after which the connection runs at 1 Mbps.
Can I add data to my French Guiana eSIM later?
Top up is available on some French Guiana plans, not all. Check the plan details before you buy if you think you might need more. Where top up is not offered, a second plan can be bought and installed.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
