Frequently Asked Questions:
-
01What does “Unlimited” mean on the France Unlimited plan?
-
With the France Unlimited plan you’re travelling in France and you get high-speed data allowed per day (500 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB or 5 GB, depending on your choice) and once you’ve hit your daily high-speed allowance your data continues at reduced 2G speed until the next daily reset. 
This gives you effectively unlimited usage day-to-day, though the ‘high-speed’ portion is capped per day. -
02Can I make phone calls or send SMS with the plan?
-
No. The France Unlimited plan is data-only. You cannot send standard SMS or make voice calls via your mobile number through the plan. You can however use apps (VoIP) such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Teams etc. for calls and messaging.
-
03Do I keep my current mobile number and SIM when using this eSIM?
-
Yes. The plan is an eSIM data only overlay — you install the eSIM on your device and your existing physical SIM (your home number) stays in place. You keep your regular number and use the eSIM strictly for data. When the eSIM is active, the data traffic uses the eSIM. (Note: You’ll need a dual-SIM or eSIM-capable device if you want to keep using your physical SIM simultaneously.)
-
04What networks and coverage will I have in France?
-
For the France Unlimited plan, you’ll be using France’s major networks (e.g., Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free Mobile) including 5G where available. 
Coverage is widespread across France’s cities and rural areas, though as always in remote areas speeds and signal strength may vary. -
05How and when does activation happen?
-
Once you purchase the eSIM plan you’ll receive a QR code via email. Install the eSIM on your compatible device, and the plan becomes active from the day you first use data (or from your activation if specified). For the France Unlimited plan, you also have a 180-day window to activate after purchase.
-
06Can I use the plan as a hotspot or share data with other devices?
-
Yes - the France Unlimited plan supports hotspot/tethering so you can share your eSIM data with other devices. 
However, please be mindful of the daily high-speed allowance. If you consume a large share of it via tethering you may shift into the reduced-speed phase earlier in the day.
