eSIM for France

While the France eSIM is tailored to give you the best possible coverage within France, if you’re planning to visit neighboring European countries, we recommend opting for our Europe eSIM. This option is designed to ensure continuous service across the continent, making it ideal for those who want to explore multiple European destinations.

Your plan activates immediately upon connecting your eSIM to any supported network. For example, if you bought a 1-day plan and you activate your plan at 10 AM, it remains active for a full 24 hours, concluding at 10 AM the following day.

The France eSIM only allows you to use mobile data. It does not include a local phone number for mobile calls or messages. You can still make calls using apps like WhatsApp.

You can check if your smartphone is eSIM compatible here.

Once you purchase your eSIM, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions to install it immediately using a QR code or manual code. Remember that once the eSIM is purchased, it cannot be returned.

You don’t need to do anything to keep your WhatsApp number. You’ll automatically keep your number, contacts and conversations.

The Holafly eSIM France offers maximum speed coverage (4GLTE5G). But bear in mind that in some areas of limited coverage there may be a lower speed connection. .We recommend you make a top-up or buy another mobile eSIM plan to get more data and stay connected.

Yes. To ensure that your eSIM gets the best coverage, you must turn on data roaming on your mobile settings. This will not incur any additional charges, as long as you have already set up the Holafly eSIM.

If you cannot find the code, please contact our 24/7 customer support team at help@holafly.com or our online chat function. We will resend the code to your email.

If you use all your data or run out of days, your eSIM card will no longer work and you will lose internet connection. It’s important to manage your data usage and plan your usage according to your needs. To avoid interruptions in your service, we recommend that you keep track of your eSIM usage or extend its validity (top-up) before your current eSIM expires.

Whichever is available for your destinations and suits your travel needs better! You can choose plans from 1 to 90 days.

This eSIM includes unlimited data for the corresponding valid days. However, please note that the operator may reserve the right to apply a Fair Usage Policy, as it applies to all other network users. In particular, if the operator estimates the usage of more than 90GB of data in a month, they may temporarily reduce the speed to between 256-1024KB to avoid affecting other users. This limitation is intended to prevent network saturation and will be removed within 24 hours. If you think the local carrier has limited your speed, please get in touch with us by chat, and we will check if there is any incidence and how to restore your rate to the maximum speed permitted by the network.

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card that can be installed directly into your smartphone or other mobile devices. It is an alternative to the physical SIM card you’re used to. If you’re wondering for further information on “What is an eSIM?” and its advantages, read more to discover how it can benefit you.

Certainly! With the France eSIM, you have the capability to share up to 500MB of data per day across devices by creating a WiFi connection using your smartphone. Refer to your device instructions for guidance on setting up a WiFi connection via a mobile hotspot.

After your purchase, we will send a QR code and manual instructions to your email. Either print the QR code or open it on your computer. On your cell phone, go to Settings > Mobile Data > Add Data Plan and scan the QR code. Your phone will allow you to assign a specific name to this data plan. You will now be able to switch between your Holafly data plan and the original plan from your provider. The Holafly data plan will only be operational once you arrive at your destination. Once you land, turn on data roaming on your cell phone settings and activate the Holafly data plan. Consult your phone’s user manual for more details on adding a data plan. All eSIM products come with comprehensive set-up instructions.

Set up your eSIM France before your departure. Once you reach your destination, just activate the data plan turning on data roaming. We recommend you print the QR code to take it and manual instructions with you on vacation, just in case. Remember that you need internet access to install the eSIM.

You can manage your eSIMs and access all purchased data plans by logging into your Holafly Center through the Holafly website.

If needed or when changing phones during your trip, you can transfer your eSIM. However, note that you can only transfer the eSIM to two devices—the original one and a new one. Once you’ve installed it on a different device than the original, you won’t be able to reinstall it on the original device and you must deliver the eSIM from the original device to install it in the second device.

Yes, you can use your physical SIM card and Holafly eSIM simultaneously on your device, eliminating the need for swapping physical SIM cards. Simply set your prepaid eSIM as your default mobile data and preferred option for voice line in your device settings.
