France eSIM

As fast as the local network is at that spot, which is the same connection residents get. Plans that carry 5G say so on the row, and fall back to 4G where 5G has not reached. Congestion, buildings and your own phone all move it, so no eSIM can promise a number. Each unlimited plan states its own terms on its row, whether that is a daily full-speed allowance, a speed cap or no cap.

Install over Wi-Fi before travel. Select the eSIM for mobile data on arrival. Validity starts when it first connects to a network in France, not when you pay or install. Make that first connection within 12 months of buying.

Not on the SimFuse plan. You pay once, upfront, and nothing arrives afterwards. A home SIM from the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway normally roams in France at home prices too, within its fair-use allowance. A home SIM from anywhere else can still bill at its carrier's roaming rate, so check your tariff or turn off data roaming and automatic data switching before you land.

No. The plans listed here are data only, with no call or SMS allowance. You can use calling and messaging apps over data.

France eSIM plans from SimFuse start at EUR 1.09. Pick on three things: the data you use in a day, how long you stay, and whether you need to tether. Compare validity and allowance terms below. Use Advanced filters to check the available networks.

France plans run on Bouygues Telecom, Orange, Free Mobile, and SFR. Carriers differ between plans. Use Advanced filters to check available networks. Your phone shows the local carrier's name in its status bar. An unstated generation is not a promise of 4G or 5G.

France eSIM plans start at EUR 1.09, paid once and upfront, with no bill when you get home. Compare the total price and price per GB for the data and validity you need. Calls, texts and roaming on your home SIM stay on your home carrier's tariff.

Each France plan row says whether it allows tethering. If the row shows no separate tethering cap, a hotspot spends the plan's own data. If it shows one, tethering is limited to that amount. Check it before you plan to work off a laptop.

Keep it if you want your existing number reachable for calls and texts. On a dual-SIM phone, your home SIM and travel eSIM sit side by side. Calls and SMS included with your travel plan use its own line. Turn off data roaming and automatic data switching on your home line to control its roaming use.

Check your exact model and regional version in the compatibility guide, then look for 'Add eSIM' in your phone's settings. The phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Brand and release year are not enough on their own, because some regional versions of an eSIM-capable model ship without it. Check your exact phone model →

Some plans stop until you top up, others continue at a reduced speed, and each plan row says which. A top-up adds data to the eSIM you already have. Each top-up option states its own validity and says if it replaces your current plan.

Yes, within 30 days of purchase, while the eSIM is unused. One that has never connected and has used no data is refunded in full, including when your phone turns out not to support eSIM or you could not get a connection at all. Once it has connected and carried data, contact support and we will look at it.
