Local know-how
What to know before you land in France
Coverage and networks
France runs on Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free Mobile. Orange leads rural coverage; Paris, the TGV lines and the Riviera are strong on all four. Your plan card names the network before checkout.
Landing and activation
Install at home and toggle on at CDG or Orly. Paris metro coverage is decent but tunnels still drop; downloads finish when you surface.
Which plan fits your trip
A Paris week is comfortable on 5 GB. Add the Loire, Provence or the Alps and 10 GB is safer. Multi-country itineraries through Belgium, Switzerland or Italy belong on a Europe regional bundle.

Land, switch it on
Set the GetSim eSIM as your default for cellular data. Your home SIM keeps handling calls and 2FA SMS in the background.
Your real number stays online. The eSIM only handles data. Calls, SMS, banking 2FA all keep arriving on your home SIM.
Crossing borders?
Going to more than just France?
A regional bundle covers France and 195+ other countries on a single eSIM, often cheaper than buying separate single-country plans for a multi-stop trip.
Frequently asked about France eSIMs
Yes. The GetSim eSIM installs as a second profile on your phone. Your home SIM and number stay active for calls and SMS. Set the GetSim eSIM as the default for cellular data only.
Plans run on tier-1 mobile networks in France. The exact carrier depends on the plan; you'll see the network name on each plan card before you pay.
Typical activation is 1–3 minutes after switching the eSIM on. Many travelers install the eSIM at home over Wi-Fi and toggle it on the moment the plane lands.
GetSim eSIMs are data-only. For voice and SMS, use apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal or Telegram. They all work seamlessly over the eSIM data. If you need a real phone number for verifications, pair the eSIM with a GetSim virtual number from the same wallet.
Top up the eSIM directly from your dashboard or the GetSim app, no need to install a new profile. Top-ups are billed per-GB at the same rate as the original plan.
