Ooh la la! France is the largest country in Western Europe and has everything from stunning mountain ranges and beautiful beaches to world-class art, fashion, and dining.
Known for glamour, romance and finer things in life, France is one of the most-visited countries in the world.
When traveling through France, you’ll want to stay in touch with family and friends. A France eSIM can keep your mobile device connected with local data, so you can stay online without relying on Wi-Fi.
How much travel data do I need in France?
Data requirements in France will vary from person to person. First, you need to determine the Wi-Fi availability in your accommodations, and estimate how much time you’ll stay there.
If you plan on getting out and exploring local attractions, you can’t always count on finding a free, open Wi-Fi network.
Don’t despair, ma chère, because a France eSIM will connect you to local networks. You can buy a small data package to start, and top it up later if you need more data.
Will I pay roaming charges with a France eSIM?
You won’t need to pay any roaming charges when you use a France eSIM!
A France eSIM directly connects you to local networks, providing prepaid data to use during your travels.
This means that you DON’T need to switch on Data Roaming with your Primary SIM, and your home carrier won’t charge you for roaming services on your next bill. C’est magnifique!
