Arriving in France
Half of Paris is booked by the hour now. Timed entry at the museums, a slot for the tower, a table held for twenty minutes: all of it lives on a phone, and all of it is easier when the phone works before you reach the front of the queue. Charles de Gaulle helps with none of it, since its terminals are far enough apart that the train between them is the first thing most arrivals look up.
Rail is the other thing to settle early. A ticket here is usually a code on a screen rather than a card in a pocket, so the calm version is the one you opened and saved before leaving the flat, with the data still there to open it again if the phone forgets.
France borders five countries people genuinely cross into on a holiday, and a day spent over any of those borders is outside what a France plan covers. If the trip has one in it, the whole of the check is the number of countries printed on each row above.
How it works
Tell us where you are going
A few questions about the trip and the phone, then we match a plan to it. The price is on screen before you sign in.
Pay once
One payment for one trip. Nothing renews, and there is nothing to cancel later.
Install before you fly
Your eSIM arrives within a couple of minutes of paying. Installing takes about two minutes on Wi-Fi, and the plan only starts when you connect at your destination.
What you need
- A phone that takes an eSIM and is not locked to one network. Most phones sold in the last few years qualify, and the help page has the model lists and the one-minute check.
- These are data plans. You keep your own number, and calls and text messages stay on the SIM you already carry.
- Data Roaming switched on for the eSIM line. A travel eSIM reaches the local network by roaming, so that toggle is how the plan works rather than an extra charge, and it is the most common reason a new eSIM looks dead.
- Wi-Fi to install on. It takes about two minutes, which is why doing it at home is the calm version.
- Every row above says how many countries its plan covers. A plan works on the local networks its operator has agreements with, the same way roaming does.
Questions about France
- When does the plan start?
- Most plans start when the eSIM first connects to a network in France rather than when you buy or install it, so buying a few days early usually costs nothing. Each plan states what it does about its own clock on its own page.
- Will it work on my phone?
- It needs a phone that takes an eSIM and is not locked to a single network. The help page lists the models and shows the check for iPhone and Android, which takes about a minute.
- Do I keep my own number?
- Yes. The eSIM is a second line for data, and your usual SIM stays in the phone with your number and your calls on it.
- What does a data plan mean here?
- It means the plan is bought for data: maps, messaging apps, email, tickets and everything else that travels over a connection. Calls and text messages stay with your usual SIM.
- Can I add more data later?
- Some plans accept a top-up and some do not, which each plan states on its own page. If yours does not, buying a second plan works, and there is nothing to cancel first.
- Should I install it before I travel?
- Yes, on Wi-Fi at home. Installing needs a connection and takes about two minutes, and it is the step nobody wants to be doing in an arrivals hall.
