Round Analysis

Category breakdown for Guernsey.

Coverage

HelloRoam wins the coverage category for Guernsey with a score of 9.1/10. HelloRoam connects to Sure GG and JT in Guernsey, the sole operator. Guernsey operates on 4G LTE technology. Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in Guernsey. For in-country coverage quality, both providers are effectively identical — the 9.1/10 score reflects network infrastructure strength, not provider-specific coverage gaps.

Pricing

HelloRoam wins the pricing category for Guernsey with a score of 9.2/10. Plans for Guernsey start at $3.04/GB through HelloRoam, reflecting the premium data costs in this market. Available tiers: 1GB: $5.04, 3GB: $12.69, 5GB: $20.70, 20GB: $60.83. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 9.2/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Guernsey's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.
