France eSIM questions
How much does the France eSIM cost?
Data plans start at $3.95 for 1GB over 7 days, and 10GB for 30 days is $12.95. Prices are in AUD, with no roaming charges on top.
How much data do I need in France?
Most travellers use about 1GB a day with maps, messaging and some social media, so 10GB ($12.95) covers a week. Just maps and messages? 3GB ($6.95) is enough for a week. Streaming or a laptop hotspot? Pick 50GB ($39.95). See how much data each app uses.
Which networks does the France eSIM use?
It runs on Orange. You get 5G where the network has it, if your phone supports 5G, and 4G everywhere else.
Does it work on the Paris Metro?
Yes. The Metro and RER have signal in the stations and the tunnels, so maps and messages keep working underground.
Is one network enough in France?
Yes. Orange is France's biggest network, with the widest 4G and 5G coverage, country roads and Corsica included.
Does it work in the French Alps?
Yes in the ski villages and on most lifts and runs. Off-piste and in the high valleys signal drops, so don't count on it away from the resort.
Can I use it in Italy or Switzerland on the same trip?
No, it's France only. The Europe eSIM covers France, Italy, Switzerland and 36 more countries on one plan.
When does my France plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in France. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the France eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every France plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the France eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
