Guyana is an English-speaking South American country where almost everything sits along a narrow coastal strip, while the interior is rainforest and savannah with barely any roads. Visitors come for Kaieteur Falls and for birding, which means the trip alternates between towns where you are online as normal and stretches of several days where you are completely cut off, and the planning has to account for both.

In Georgetown you will use around 1 to 1.5GB a day for maps, messaging and work, while on interior days you will use almost nothing because there is nothing to connect to. Plan the plan size around the number of days you spend on the coast rather than averaging it across the whole trip.
The main airport is Cheddi Jagan International (GEO) at Timehri, about 40km and an hour from Georgetown, while Eugene F. Correia (OGL) at Ogle handles interior and Caribbean flights. Overland there is the Takutu River bridge at Lethem into Bonfim in Brazil, and the ferry at Moleson Creek across to South Drain in Suriname, both of which keep fixed daytime hours.
Service follows the coastal strip from Georgetown through New Amsterdam and Anna Regina, and covers the towns of Linden and Bartica. Once you move inland to the Rupununi savannah, the Iwokrama forest, the Kanuku mountains or Kaieteur itself, there is effectively nothing to attach to, and the lodges out there run on satellite links or radio instead of a mobile network.

None. Kaieteur sits in the middle of the forest and is reached mainly by light aircraft, so a day trip means being out of contact from morning until you land back. Tell people at home in advance that you will be silent for the day, message them once you are back at Ogle or in Georgetown, and expect the flight itself to shift if the weather closes in.
Yes. For Brazil you cross the Takutu bridge at Lethem, and for Suriname you take the river ferry across the Corentyne at Moleson Creek. Both operate only during set daytime hours. The road from Georgetown to Lethem is a long unpaved route that takes many hours and can become impassable in the rainy season, so check its condition with a driver before you set out.
Guyana has two wet spells, roughly May to August and again around November to January. The falls are at their most impressive then, but interior roads can turn to mud and become impassable and domestic flights are delayed more often. If you are heading into the Rupununi during the rains, keep one or two spare days in the itinerary rather than booking a tight connection home.
Most plans here start when the phone first connects to a network at the destination, so you can install in advance at home and switch it on after landing. Each plan page states its own rule.
No. The eSIM is a second line, so you keep your home number for SMS OTP. Turn off roaming data on the home line and set the eSIM as the data line.
