eSIM for France — 7-day plans 🇫🇷
Our 7-day France eSIM is tailored for short-stay visitors — a focused tourism trip, a 3–4 day business stopover, or a connecting transit. The 7-day validity begins the moment you connect to a local network (not at purchase), giving you full control. If your trip extends beyond the week, simply top up or purchase a new eSIM plan for additional days; the original QR code can be reused after the plan expires.

FAQ
How is the 7-day validity counted — from purchase or activation?
Validity starts when you first connect to the network in France (scan the QR code and activate). Purchase timing does not affect the counting: you have up to 30 days after order to scan and begin, then the plan runs for 7 consecutive days from that activation moment.
Can I activate the eSIM before my flight?
Yes, you can scan the QR code before departure, but the plan will only begin once you arrive in France and connect to a local network. If you scan early, the plan remains dormant until the first network registration in France.
What if my stay in France is 10 days? Can I extend the same plan?
The 7-day plan cannot be extended; it runs for exactly 7 days. To cover a 10-day trip, you can purchase a second 7-day plan or choose a longer validity alternative (e.g., 15 or 30 days). You can reuse the same eSIM slot by installing a new QR profile after the first plan expires.
Is the eSIM compatible with all phones in France?
It works on any unlocked phone that supports eSIM technology (iPhone XS and newer, select Android models from 2019+). Check your device settings for 'Add eSIM' or 'Cellular plan' — if present, it's compatible. Carrier-locked phones may not work.
Can I use the eSIM for tethering or hotspot sharing?
Yes, hotspot/tethering is enabled. You can share the data connection with other devices like a laptop or tablet, using the eSIM's allocated data allowance. Bear in mind that sharing consumes data faster.
