The best eSIM for Guyana in 2026. Six eSIM brands priced for Guyana on the same day: Ubigi and Holafly are cheapest for two weeks or a month, Nomad and Ubigi for buckets. Which to buy.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs get most of the traffic for this search, and all six sell data for Guyana. We priced them on the same day, for a few days in Georgetown, two weeks with a trip into the interior, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited. In Guyana we are not the cheapest at any length, and this page says plainly who is.
Ringo Light: Unlimited with no speed cap, one payment, and the only plan that tops itself up. 2 weeks at $112.99 or 30 days at $223.99, one payment each, nothing renews. It is not the cheap option here: Holafly sells 15 days of unlimited at $79.90, $33.09 less, and 30 days at $158.50, $65.49 less.
Ubigi: Cheapest two weeks and month of heavy data, and the cheapest 10 GB. Its Caribbean regional plan gives 30 GB at full speed for 15 days at $75, and its Best World plan 60 GB for 30 days at $108, then 2 Mbps. A local 10 GB for 30 days is $34, on Digicel.

For about two weeks, Ubigi's Caribbean regional plan gives 30 GB at full speed for 15 days at $75, then 2 Mbps. Holafly sells 15 days of unlimited at $79.90. Airalo's local Guyana plan stops at 10 days ($68); its Discover global plan sells 15 days at $96. Ringo Light charges $112.99 for 2 weeks, $37.99 more than Ubigi and $33.09 more than Holafly.
For a month, Ubigi's Best World plan gives 60 GB at full speed for $108, Holafly asks $158.50 and Airalo's Discover global plan $159. Ringo Light charges $223.99 for 30 days, $115.99 more than Ubigi and $65.49 more than Holafly. In Guyana we lose both lengths. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi gives a fixed amount, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $112.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $225.98 and a heavy month $336.98, far above every rival here.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Airalo and Holafly both sell 3 days of unlimited at $25.50.
Guyana has two mobile networks, GTT and Digicel. Airalo's local plan rides GTT; Holafly, Nomad and Ubigi name Digicel. Both cover Georgetown and the populated coast from the Essequibo to Berbice, where most people in Guyana live.
Inland it is different. Most of the country is rainforest and savannah, reached by small plane, river boat or a long dirt road. Holafly's own page warns that coverage may be limited or unstable at Kaieteur Falls, in the Iwokrama Forest and across the Rupununi. Whatever eSIM you buy, download offline maps before you fly in, and ask your lodge what Wi-Fi it has.
Ubigi, $34 for 10 GB. For 30 days on Digicel, the cheapest 10 GB of the six. Also 3 GB for 15 days at $14 and 10 GB for 7 days at $28.
Nomad, $35 for 10 GB. And the cheapest 20 GB at $45, both for 30 days on Digicel 4G. 3 GB for 30 days is $15.
Saily, $45.99 for 10 GB. For 30 days. Its listing is from May; saily.com would not load for us.
Airalo, $46 for 10 GB. Its Gucom plan on GTT, for 30 days, or $45 for 15 days and $44 for 7 days.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $112.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $223.99. For a fixed amount of data, all four rivals that sell buckets are far cheaper in Guyana. Buy Ringo Light only if you want unlimited with no speed cap and are happy to pay for it.
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 Guyana it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $112.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $223.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $112.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
In Guyana our prices are high. Holafly's 15 days at $79.90 and Ubigi's 15 days at $75 cost less than our 2 weeks, and a 10 GB bucket from Ubigi or Nomad at $34 or $35 is enough for most visitors. Our Latin America and Caribbean trips do not cover Guyana, so there is no cheaper Ringo Light route in.
The card to buy it is just below this article.
A few days in Georgetown. Ubigi, 3 GB for 15 days at $14, for maps and messages. Airalo or Holafly at $25.50 for 3 days of unlimited. Ringo Light sells no 3 days.
A week with a flight to Kaieteur. Ubigi, 10 GB for 7 days at $28, or its Caribbean plan, 20 GB at full speed for $44.

You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in Guyana, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from Georgetown on the coast to the falls, the rainforest and the Rupununi savannah inland, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Signal is good in Georgetown and along the coast, and thin to missing in the interior, so most of these tips are about what to download before you go.
Kaieteur Falls, Kaieteur National Park, Potaro River. The Potaro River drops 226 metres in a single fall from the edge of a sandstone plateau, one of the tallest single drops in the world. Most visitors fly in for the day from Georgetown on a small plane. Expect little or no signal at the falls. Save your flight details and the operator's number on your phone before you leave Georgetown.
St George's Cathedral, Georgetown. A white Anglican cathedral finished in 1892, one of the tallest wooden churches in the world. Georgetown's wooden colonial buildings and wide avenues are best walked in the morning, before the heat. Ride-hailing is limited in Georgetown. Many visitors call or message a taxi company, so keep a number saved on WhatsApp.
Stabroek Market, Georgetown. An iron market hall with a clock tower on the Demerara riverfront, packed with stalls selling fruit, fish and everything else. The minibus stands outside go all over the city and the coast. Cash in Guyanese dollars rules the stalls. A currency app converts a price at a glance.
Iwokrama Forest, On the Essequibo River, on the road to Lethem. A protected rainforest reserve on the Essequibo, with a river lodge, forest trails and a canopy walkway nearby. The dry months, roughly September to November, are the easiest time to travel inland. Signal is thin in the forest. Download offline maps and a bird guide app before you leave the coast.
Karanambu and the Rupununi, Rupununi savannah, near Lethem. A former cattle ranch on the Rupununi River, known for giant river otters, black caiman and giant water lilies. Lethem, the savannah's main town, sits on the border with Brazil. Ask the lodge what Wi-Fi it has before you arrive, and save an offline map of the savannah tracks.
Shell Beach, Barima-Waini, north west coast. A long, remote beach of crushed shells where sea turtles come ashore to nest, roughly from March to August. It is reached by boat, usually on an organised trip. There is little or no signal out here. Tell someone your plans and share your trip details before you set off.
Orinduik Falls, Ireng River, on the Brazil border. Wide, low falls that step down over red jasper rock, and you can swim in the pools below. Many Kaieteur day flights stop here too. Charge a power bank before the flight: you will take more photos than you think, with no signal to upload them.
Bartica and the Essequibo, Where the Essequibo, Mazaruni and Cuyuni rivers meet. A river town at the gateway to the interior, reached by speedboat from Parika. Sandbanks and river beaches line the Essequibo nearby. Speedboats leave when they fill up. Message your guesthouse or boat operator on WhatsApp for the day's times.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Guyana 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 compared the brands that get most of the traffic for this search and did not price Maya Mobile on the day.

It depends on the trip. On 28 September 2026, Ubigi sold the cheapest 10 GB at $34 and Nomad the cheapest 20 GB at $45, both for 30 days. For about two weeks, Ubigi's Caribbean regional plan was $75 for 30 GB and Holafly's 15 days of unlimited $79.90. Ringo Light, at $112.99 for 2 weeks and $223.99 for 30 days, is not the cheapest for Guyana.
Guyana has two networks, GTT and Digicel. Airalo's Gucom plan uses GTT; Holafly, Nomad and Ubigi use Digicel. Saily does not name its network on its listing. Both networks cover Georgetown and the coast; the interior is patchy on both.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo slows you after 3 GB a day, Ubigi after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Saily and Nomad sell no unlimited plan for Guyana. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
Do not count on it. Coverage is good on the coast and thin or absent in much of the interior, and Holafly's own page names Kaieteur, Iwokrama and the Rupununi as places where it may be limited. Download offline maps before you go and use your lodge's Wi-Fi where it has some.
