French Guiana is a French overseas department on the north coast of South America, between Suriname and Brazil. Local operators include Orange, SFR Caraïbe and Digicel, and our eSIM runs on the Orange 4G network. Coverage is good along the coast, where most people live, including Cayenne, Remire-Montjoly, Matoury, Kourou and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni. The interior is mostly Amazon rainforest, and there coverage is limited or absent. Networks: Orange.
For a short trip, for example to watch a rocket launch in Kourou, 1 GB for a week is enough if you mostly use messaging and maps. For a two-week trip along the coast, 5 to 10 GB is comfortable, and download offline maps before heading into the interior or onto the rivers.
French Guiana is part of the EU as an outermost region, so a mobile plan from an EU or EEA country roams there like at home. An eSIM helps if your home bundle has little data, if you stay for a longer period, or if your plan comes from elsewhere.

Yes. Our eSIM gives you instant mobile data in French Guiana on the local networks, with no roaming fees. Your phone needs to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked.
It depends on your trip. For mostly maps and messaging, 1 to 3 GB is plenty. If you use navigation, social media and some streaming, plan for roughly 1 GB every two to three days.
Right after payment. You receive a QR code on screen and by email immediately. It is best to install it at home over Wi-Fi before you leave.

Yes, for plans from EU and EEA countries. French Guiana is a French overseas department and an outermost region of the EU, so EU roaming rules apply just as in mainland France, within your plan's fair use limits. If your plan comes from another country, check your operator's roaming terms, because roaming there often costs extra and a data eSIM is then the simpler option.
Only limited. The interior is mostly rainforest: Maripasoula is reached by plane or boat, Saul in practice only by plane. On the rivers and deep in the forest there is often no signal, so download offline maps beforehand. Along the border rivers Maroni and Oyapock your phone may also pick up a network from Suriname or Brazil, which is not covered by EU roaming.
Yes. Install the eSIM at home before you travel. After landing at Cayenne airport, turn on data roaming for the eSIM line on your phone and it connects to the Orange network automatically.
EU roaming is meant for temporary travel. If, over a four-month period, you spend more time abroad than at home and also use your plan more abroad, your operator may contact you about it and then add a surcharge. A data eSIM, bought per 30 days, keeps your mobile internet separate from your home plan.
