1 · The short answer
Six travel eSIMs sell data for Guinea, the country with Conakry as its capital, not Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea or Papua New Guinea. We priced all six on the same day, for a few days in Conakry, two weeks up into the Fouta Djallon, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited. Only one of the six sells unlimited data for Guinea itself, and it beats us on the month. Here is where each one wins.
Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $58.99, one payment, nothing renews: $4.91 under Holafly's 15 days. For a month we are not the cheapest: our 30 days is $114.99, Holafly's $112.90.
Days, not gigabytes, on Orange Guinée: 3 days at $20.90, a week at $39.90, 30 days at $112.90, $2.09 less than our month. Sharing limited to 1 GB a day.
10 GB for 30 days at $35 on Orange, or $30 on its Best Africa plan. Its Best World plan gives 60 GB at full speed for 30 days, then 2 Mbps, at $108.
The only brand here that names two Guinean networks, MTN and Orange. Small buckets only: 5 GB for 30 days at $35.
Prices read on 28 September 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

2 · The prices, charted
One payment, US dollars, 28 September 2026. Ringo Light sells 2 weeks, Holafly and Ubigi 15 days. Ubigi's is its Best World plan, 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Airalo, Saily and Nomad sell no unlimited for Guinea.
The 30-day plan at each brand that sells one. Here Ringo Light is the dearest of the three. Ubigi's is its Best World plan, 60 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps.
Holafly sells no buckets, and Airalo and Nomad sell nothing as large as 10 GB for Guinea. Ringo Light sells no bucket either: its 2 weeks is unlimited and lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days.

4 · What to do in Guinea, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places most first trips include, from Conakry and its islands inland to Kindia, up through the Fouta Djallon highlands around Dalaba, Pita and Labé, and down to Forest Guinea and Mount Nimba, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Conakry and the main towns have good 4G; the roads between them and the hills often do not.
5 · If you want unlimited for two weeks: Ringo Light. For a month: Holafly
Most Guinea trips start with a few days in Conakry and the Îles de Loos, then head inland to Kindia and up into the Fouta Djallon, Dalaba, Pita and Labé. Only Holafly sells unlimited data for Guinea alone on the day we looked: $63.90 for 15 days, $61.90 for 14, and $112.90 for 30 days. Ubigi's Best World plan covers Guinea with 30 GB at full speed for 15 days at $77, or 60 GB for 30 days at $108, then 2 Mbps. Ringo Light charges $58.99 for 2 weeks and $114.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews.
So for two weeks we are the cheapest, by $4.91 against Holafly's 15 days. For a month we are not: Holafly is $2.09 cheaper and Ubigi's World plan $6.99 cheaper. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone, says the network may reduce your speed for up to a day under fair use, and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ubigi gives its fixed amount at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed, for 2 weeks or 30 days.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Holafly sells 3 days of unlimited at $20.90 and a week at $39.90, less than our 2 weeks.
6 · Which network works best in Guinea
Orange Guinée is the largest mobile network in Guinea and the one most travel eSIMs ride: Airalo, Holafly and Ubigi all name it. Nomad names MTN as well as Orange. Saily does not name its network. Coverage is best in Conakry and the larger towns, Kindia, Mamou, Labé, Kankan and Nzérékoré, and along the main roads between them. Holafly's own page warns that coverage is thinner in the highlands, in Forest Guinea and around Mount Nimba, and that matches what travellers report: download maps before every long drive.
7 · Local SIMs, registration and money
A Guinean SIM has to be registered with an identity document before it works. A visitor shows a passport at an operator shop in Conakry and waits for the line to be set up. A travel eSIM installs at home before you fly, needs no shop, and connects when you land at Conakry's airport at Gbessia.
Much of Guinea pays in cash, in Guinean francs, and by phone with Orange Money, which needs a local number that a travel data eSIM does not give you. Cards work in the larger hotels and a few restaurants and supermarkets in Conakry; carry cash for everything else, and more of it outside the capital.
8 · If you want a data bucket: Ubigi
- Ubigi, $35 for 10 GB. For 30 days on Orange, or $30 on its Best Africa plan. The cheapest 10 GB here. Its Best World plan also sells 25 GB for 90 days at $59, one payment.
- Saily, $44.99 for 10 GB. For 30 days. Its listing is from May; saily.com would not load for us, so check the price at checkout.
- Nomad, $35 for 5 GB. Its largest Guinea plan, for 30 days, on MTN and Orange. 3 GB for 30 days costs $25.
- Airalo, $25 for 3 GB. Its Guinea Miyahu line on Orange, 3 GB for 7 days, as airalo.com showed it on the day. Its Hello Africa regional plan sells 5 GB for 30 days at $41.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks is unlimited for $58.99 and our 30 days unlimited for $114.99. For a fixed amount of data, Ubigi and Saily are cheaper in Guinea: Ubigi by $23.99 on 10 GB, and Ubigi's 25 GB for 90 days at $59 costs about half our 30 days. Buy Ringo Light for two weeks of unlimited, not for a bucket.
9 · What Ringo Light is
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Guinea it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed: 2 weeks at $58.99 and 30 days at $114.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
In Guinea our 2 weeks is the cheapest unlimited on the day we priced it. Our 30 days is not: Holafly's month costs $2.09 less and Ubigi's World plan $6.99 less, so for a month, buy one of those.
The card to buy it is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.

12 · How we compared, and our sources
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Guinea on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.
