Belize has two main operators: DigiCell Belize and Smart (operated by Speednet Communications). HelloRoam's Belize plan connects via DigiCell, which provides the wider 4G LTE coverage for travellers.
Belize City has good 4G coverage throughout the urban area, the international airport, and the main commercial zone near the swing bridge. Ambergris Caye and San Pedro town have 4G coverage, which is reliable enough for mapping and messaging in the resort and beach areas. Caye Caulker has 4G coverage in the main village. Coverage on the caye drops on the northern and southern tips away from the settlement.
On the mainland, San Ignacio (Cayo District) has 4G in the town. The Western highway connecting Belize City and San Ignacio has coverage through towns and along stretches of the road, with gaps in uninhabited jungle sections. Placencia Peninsula has 4G in the village and southern sections. Hopkins village on the central coast has coverage. The Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, considered the world's first jaguar preserve, has no signal in the forest interior. Caracol Maya site is remote and has no signal.
