Not sure which plan to pick? Here's what we recommend based on your travel style:
Tumon Bay beach & resort travelers
Tumon Bay has excellent 4G/5G coverage throughout the tourist strip — hotels, shopping malls, and beaches all have strong signal. A 5–10 GB plan for 7 days covers a typical resort stay with maps, social media, and streaming.

Guam's coral reefs, Blue Hole, and Apra Harbor dive sites are world-class. Shore signal is strong in Tumon and Apra. A 3–5 GB plan easily covers dive bookings, navigation, and sharing photos between sessions.

US military & extended stays
US military families and longer-stay visitors are best served by Nomad ($28/10GB) for extended data needs, or Ubigi's 25GB/90-day plan for very long stays. Check whether your US carrier includes Guam in your domestic plan — some do.
