No pocket Wi-Fi or SIM counter to find when you land in France, and nothing to return before you fly home. The eSIM is installed before you leave.
Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

France travel data guide
A France eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for France that you install before you fly. Plans in France run on Orange, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 18 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 50 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Europe eSIM covers France and 33 other countries on one plan, from $1.99. The Global eSIM covers France and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in France, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in France from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
France FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in France?
It connects wherever Orange has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in France, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in France?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is there a 7 day fixed plan for France?
No. France has no fixed plan that lasts exactly 7 days. For a one week trip you can take 3 GB valid for 15 days, or the 7 day unlimited plan, which gives full speed up to a daily amount and slower data after that.
Who is the 50 GB France plan for?
The 50 GB plan is for long stays in France with heavy use, such as working from a laptop over hotspot for a month. It stays at full speed until the 50 GB is used, where an unlimited plan slows down each day after its daily amount.
Should I get the France plan or the Europe plan?
Get the France plan if you are staying in France. If your trip also includes Spain, Italy or another country on the Europe list, the Europe plan covers them on one eSIM, so you do not need to swap at each border.
Do the days start when I buy the France eSIM?
No. The days start when the eSIM first connects to a network in France. You can buy and install it well before your flight and nothing is used until you arrive and switch it on.
Can I move my France eSIM to another phone?
Plan to install it once, on the phone you will carry in France. An eSIM is downloaded to a single device, and moving it is not something to count on. If you change phones before the trip, email support before you scan the code.
Can I hotspot my laptop with the France eSIM?
Yes, every France plan allows hotspot. Laptops use far more data than phones, so a fixed plan such as 10 GB or 50 GB is easier to manage than an unlimited plan that slows after its daily full speed amount.
Will WhatsApp keep my number in France?
Yes. WhatsApp is tied to the number you registered it with, not to the eSIM. In France it simply uses the eSIM's data, and your contacts see the same number as always.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
