Digicel wide coastal coverage and the best reach toward the interior.
Guyana has basic but improving 4G across Georgetown and the populated coastal strip, with limited 5G and comparatively high data prices. Digicel and GTT carry the widest coverage, concentrated along the coast where most people live. The realistic weak spots are the vast rainforest interior, the Rupununi savannah and the remote Kaieteur Falls area, where signal disappears entirely between settlements. For Georgetown and the coast, connectivity is usable.
Typical local SIM: $12-28. Usually sold at Digicel and GTT stores in Georgetown and coastal towns; airport counter at Georgetown. The market is small and data is relatively expensive. A travel eSIM that covers Guyana is often simpler for a short trip, working the moment you land. The interior rainforest has no signal on any network, so plan offline for any inland excursion.
Because the market is small and pricey, a travel eSIM is usually the cleaner choice for a coastal trip. The interior has no coverage on any network.

The decision section compares the practical trade-offs. A travel eSIM is usually simpler for a short visit; a local SIM can make sense when you need a local number, longer service or local pricing. Check the current conditions before deciding.
