Which network does the Guernsey eSIM use?

It connects to Sure’s 5G network in Guernsey.

How much data can I get for Guernsey?

The available allowances are 1GB, 3GB, 5GB and 20GB.

How long do the Guernsey eSIM plans last?

The available durations are 7, 15 and 30 days.

Guernsey: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Guernsey means finding a shop once you have landed, usually with ID in hand, and it leaves you on a single carrier. An eSimHero eSIM installs before you travel, works the moment you arrive, connects across the networks we carry there, and leaves your usual number active on the same phone.
