Bonjour, Guadeloupe.Guadeloupe
eSIM.
Hello, traveler. — Plans from $1.43
Guadeloupe is a French overseas region in the eastern Caribbean, shaped like a butterfly with two contrasting wings: the lush volcanic Basse-Terre (home to La Soufrière volcano and Carbet Falls) and the flat agricultural Grande-Terre (Pointe-à-Pitre, beaches, and coral reefs). Your Flysimio eSIM keeps you connected across both wings and the outlying islands of Les Saintes, Marie-Galante, and La Désirade.

Questions about Guadeloupe
Does Flysimio work on all Guadeloupe islands?
Coverage is strong on Grande-Terre and coastal Basse-Terre. Les Saintes, Marie-Galante, and La Désirade have village-level 4G. The La Soufrière volcano trail and interior rainforest have limited signal — download offline maps before hiking.
What currency does Guadeloupe use?
The Euro. Guadeloupe is a French overseas region (not a territory), so it uses the same currency as mainland France.
Do I need a visa for Guadeloupe?
EU/EEA citizens and many others don't need a visa — Guadeloupe follows French/Schengen rules for entry, though it's outside the Schengen Area itself. US and Canadian citizens can visit for 90 days without a visa.
Is La Soufrière volcano safe to visit?
La Soufrière is active and monitoring alerts should be checked before hiking. When the alert level is low, guided hikes are offered to the summit. Download offline maps as there's no signal on the upper trail.
What is Creole in Guadeloupe?
Antillean Creole (Guadeloupean Creole) is the everyday language alongside French. Learning a few words — bonjou (hello), mèsi (thank you), sa ou fè (how are you) — goes a long way with locals.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
