グアドループ eSIM

An eSIM in Guadeloupe works exactly like a physical SIM card, but is downloaded digitally to your phone instead of inserted as a plastic card. You receive a QR code by email after purchase, scan it from your device's settings, and the eSIM is provisioned in seconds.

Once your plane lands in Guadeloupe (Pointe-à-Pitre / PTP airport), the Cellesim eSIM connects automatically to local mobile networks , primarily Orange Caraïbe, Digicel and SFR Caraïbe, which together cover the main islands of Grande-Terre, Basse-Terre, Marie-Galante and Les Saintes with 4G/LTE service.

Step-by-step setup

1. Buy your Guadeloupe eSIM on cellesim.com and check out , you'll get the QR code by email within seconds.
2. Before you fly, while still on Wi-Fi, open your phone's Settings → Cellular / Mobile Data → Add eSIM and scan the code.
3. Label the line "Guadeloupe Travel" so you can toggle it easily.
4. On arrival, enable the new line for data, leave your home SIM on for calls/SMS, and you're online.

What you need to know

• Device compatibility: iPhone XS or newer, Google Pixel 3 or newer, most Samsung Galaxy from S20 onwards. Older flagship models in 2018+ also support eSIM.
• Validity timer starts when the eSIM first connects to a Guadeloupe network , not when you buy it. You can install the QR weeks in advance without burning days.
• Network coverage is strong in Pointe-à-Pitre, Basse-Terre, Le Gosier and along main coastal roads; remote rainforest areas around La Soufrière volcano may have intermittent service.

Tip: Guadeloupe is part of France for telecom purposes, so any France or EU-wide eSIM also works here , but a Guadeloupe-specific plan is usually cheaper if you're only visiting the Caribbean.

Most flagship smartphones released since 2018-2019 support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 series and newer. Tablets, smartwatches and an increasing number of laptops also support eSIM. The fastest way to verify your specific device is to check Settings , if you see "Add eSIM" or "Add cellular plan" as an option, you're compatible.

eSIM compatibility is now standard across the high-end smartphone market and rapidly spreading into mid-range devices. Cellesim works with any unlocked, eSIM-capable device , no special configuration needed beyond scanning the QR code we send you.

How to verify eSIM support on your device

1. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". You can also dial *#06# , if you see an "EID" (32-digit number), your phone has eSIM hardware.
2. Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
3. EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

Tip: Even if your phone supports eSIM hardware, it must be unlocked (not carrier-locked) to use third-party eSIMs like Cellesim. Most phones bought outright are unlocked; phones from carrier instalment plans may require unlocking after the contract is paid off.

Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 supports eSIM, making it ideal for international travel. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus a growing list of mid-range devices. If your phone has Settings → Cellular → "Add eSIM", you're ready to use a Cellesim plan abroad.

Travellers benefit most from eSIM because it eliminates the airport SIM-card queue, removes the need to swap your home SIM out, and lets you keep your usual phone number active for SMS verification. A Cellesim travel eSIM activates the moment you land , no shop visit required.

4. Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.
5. Region-specific variants: some Samsung models sold in Hong Kong or China are dual physical SIM with no eSIM , verify your specific model number.

Travel-friendly phones that don't support eSIM

Tip: if your current phone doesn't support eSIM but you travel often, an unlocked, mid-range eSIM-capable phone (e.g., Pixel 7a, iPhone SE 3, Samsung Galaxy A55) makes an excellent secondary travel device , pair it with a Cellesim plan and you have a full mobile internet kit for any destination.

 これは最も重要な質問です。この eSIM はグアドループとマルティニークで有効です（どちらもフランス/EUの一部であるため）。ただし、独立した非EU 諸国であるドミニカやセントルシアでは機能しません。フェリーがそれらの島に近づくと接続が停止され、自宅の SIM が引き継ぐと高額なローミング料金が請求されます。この複数の島への旅行では、 当社のカリブ海地域 eSIM が唯一の安全な選択肢です。 

これは複雑です。

• EU 市民の場合: はい、「自宅のようにローミング」 (RLAH) が技術的に適用されます。ただし、フランス以外の通信事業者の多く (例: ドイツ、スペイン) は、遠隔地に対して厳格な「フェアユース ポリシー」 を適用しており、データの制限または制限を行う場合があります。
• 英国/米国国民の場合: いいえ! EU 離脱後の英国のプランとすべての米国のプランでは、非常に高額な国際ローミング料金が請求されます。 (1 日あたり 10 ドル以上)。

Cellesim eSIM は、「フェアユース」制限なしの固定価格と高速データを保証します。

はい、そのとおりです。 当社の eSIM はプレミアム ローカル ネットワーク (Orange など) に接続し、主要な島 (グランテール島とバステール島) だけでなく、 レ サント 、 マリー ガラント島 、 ラ デジラード などの人気の日帰り旅行島でも優れた  4G/LTE カバレッジを提供します。 

 最高の速度を実現するために（フランスでは当然のことですが）、当社の eSIM はグアドループのプレミアム Tier-1 ネットワーク、通常はOrange Caraïbe または Digicel に接続します。これにより、Basse-Terre の曲がりくねった道で Google マップを使用する際に、4G/LTE (および 5G) の最速速度が確保されます。 

はい、ほとんどの地域で可能です。 基地と主要な町であるバステールでは強い電波が受信できます。 ラ スフリエール火山のハイキング中、トレイルでは信号は驚くほど良好ですが、天候や雲により頂上で信号が低下する可能性があります。すべての主要なビーチや町には信号がありますが、 国立公園の奥深くに入ると「デッドゾーン」が発生することが予想されます。 

 最新の携帯電話のほとんどは対応していますが、購入する前に 100% 確実であることを確認するには、eSIM対応端末 の特定のリストを確認する必要があります。 

絶対に。公共交通機関は限られているため、ほとんどの観光客はレンタカーを借ります。 「パピヨン」ウィングを航行し、ポワンタピートル周辺の渋滞を回避するには、Waze または Google マップの信頼できるデータが不可欠です。 

はい。デエエの町と植物園は良好にカバーされており、テレビ シリーズの有名な撮影地の写真をすぐに共有できます。 

ボート上とマレンデュレ ビーチでは強力な 4G 信号が受信できます。ただし、ピジョン諸島でダイビングやシュノーケリングのために水没すると、当然ながら接続が失われます。 

はい。 eSIM はポワンタピートルのクルーズ港に着岸するとすぐに接続できるため、高価な船内 Wi-Fi を使わずに日帰り旅行でマップにアクセスできます。
