Free Caraïbe and travel eSIM in Guadeloupe

Free Caraïbe is one of the networks your eSIM may use in Guadeloupe. Here is who actually decides which network you get, and what to do with that.

Quick answer

  • 7 of the 35 Guadeloupe plans we sell name Free Caraïbe as a reachable network, at 4G.
  • Free Caraïbe runs LTE on B20, B3, B7; your phone needs at least one of them.
  • Travel plans connect by roaming, so no plan can promise one specific network.

Free Caraïbe in brief

Free Caraïbe is the Iliad group's mobile brand in the French Antilles and French Guiana; it shares masts with Digicel through the Madiacom joint venture announced in June 2020.

We are not a reseller for this operator and we have not run our own field speed tests. The band and network details below come from the sources listed at the end of the page.

Checked against the sources on 2026-10-12. Only the bands a source confirmed are listed; the network may run others too.

An eSIM can only use Free Caraïbe if your phone supports at least one band in this table. Before you fly, open your model's spec page on the maker's site and compare its LTE and 5G band lists.

Free Caraïbe's coverage map

Free Caraïbe publishes its own coverage map. Look up the street or district you will stay in rather than the country as a whole, because coverage in town and out of town differs a great deal. The map shows Free Caraïbe's own network; a roaming plan may not get every technology it shows.

Who licenses Free Caraïbe

Mobile networks in Guadeloupe are licensed, and their spectrum assigned, by the Autorité de régulation des communications électroniques, des postes et de la distribution de la presse (ARCEP). The bands above are the ones it allocates. A problem with the local network's own service goes to the operator first; a problem with your eSIM plan comes to us.

The plans on our shelf that name Free Caraïbe

From the supplier record behind each package, 7 of the 35 plans we currently sell for Guadeloupe declare Free Caraïbe as a network the profile can reach, at 4G. The figure comes from the same catalogue that prices the plan pages, and it moves when the supplier revises the record.

A plan naming Free Caraïbe means the network sits in the list the profile may choose from. It does not mean your handset will stay on it. The priority order is the supplier's, and the signal where you stand decides.

A band shared across networks is one a single phone can use on all of them.

Why plans do not name a fixed network

Nearly every travel eSIM is a roaming product: the profile picks a network by an order the supplier sets, not by the buyer. If Free Caraïbe is weak where you are, try selecting Digicel Antilles Françaises or Orange Caraïbe or SFR Caraïbe manually in the network settings, and keep data roaming on for the eSIM profile.

FAQ

Will my eSIM definitely connect to Free Caraïbe?+

7 of our plans name Free Caraïbe as reachable, but that is not a guarantee. Travel plans run over roaming agreements, so the network depends on the supplier behind the plan, your device and where you are.

Which bands does my phone need for Free Caraïbe?+

At least one of these, LTE: B20, B3, B7. Your phone's band list is on the maker's spec page for your model, under "Cellular" or "Network".

Does Free Caraïbe run 5G, and will my plan get it?+

We could not confirm Free Caraïbe's 5G status from an official source. Our plans that reach this network list 4G.

How do I see which network I am on?+

Check the carrier name at the top of the screen, or open the mobile-network settings and look at the operator list. If signal is poor, try selecting a network manually instead of automatic, but only one your plan actually supports.
