Which networks does the France eSIM use?+

How do I install the eSIM before I travel?+

The QR code arrives by email after purchase. On iPhone: Settings > Cellular > Add Cellular Plan; on Android: Settings > Connections > SIM Manager > Add eSIM. Install it over Wi-Fi; it activates when you arrive in France.

Open your cellular settings: if "Add eSIM" appears, you are set. Most recent models qualify, including iPhone XS and Galaxy S20.

Does my own number stay active in France?+

Yes: the eSIM sits alongside your line instead of replacing it. Telegram, WhatsApp and iMessage stay linked to your usual number.

Which data plan should I choose for France?+

Can I work from a Paris café on hotspot?+

Yes, tethering is included at no extra cost on every France plan. Size your data accordingly: a laptop uses more than a phone.

eSIM or an Orange/SFR SIM bought on arrival?+

The eSIM is bought online and works on arrival, with no shop queue or ID check. You keep your usual number.

No signal when you step off the plane?+

Set the eSIM line for mobile data and turn on its roaming. If the signal still does not come, pick Orange, SFR or Bouygues Telecom from the carrier list.

Can I use the eSIM on my Apple Watch?+

No, the TravelNet eSIM is designed for smartphones. Your watch can still connect through your phone's hotspot.

Using your France eSIM

Install the QR code over Wi-Fi before you leave: the 4G/5G plan activates the first time it connects on arrival. The eSIM is data only, so your usual number stays active for WhatsApp, iMessage and calls.
