Travel eSIM France

These eSIMs don’t include voice minutes - data only. For any calling or texting, you’ll need to rely on VoIP or messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Viber, or Messenger.

Absolutely! You can install your France travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure. Installing early means it will automatically activate once you land.

Rest assured, installing before you leave won’t start your data or count down your plan days until you arrive in France.

If you see an activation error on iPhone when installing before arriving, you can ignore it-learn more in our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide.

No, our France travel eSIMs do not include any phone number - they strictly provide internet data. For calls, use data - driven apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger, or Facetime.

Your eSIM will activate automatically when you arrive in France. Though we recommend installing your France Travel eSIM before you arrive (this is different to activating).

To do this, scan the QR code we provide or install the eSIM directly from the ZenSim app while connected to WiFi. Once you arrive in France, your eSIM will activate automatically.

If you encounter any issues check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us directly ☺️

The eSIM activates when you touch down in France - if you’ve already installed it, it should connect automatically.

Installing while already in France works too; it will start as soon as you complete setup.

If you experience connection issues, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to our support team.

Using a travel eSIM trumps roaming in France - here’s a quick rundown:

Significant Savings: Pay local France rates instead of exorbitant roaming prices set by your home carrier.

Convenient Switching: No swapping SIM cards - manage everything digitally from your phone settings.

Usage Clarity: Get real-time updates on data consumption, so you never get billed for data you didn’t need.

No, your plan only starts upon landing in France. Installing beforehand ensures you’re ready to go as the activation will happen automatically.

You’ll need WiFi for installation, so do it before departure and this way you will be connected as soon as you arrive.

If you run into any issues, our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide can help, or contact us directly.

Absolutely. Nearly all of our Travel eSIMs can be extended directly inside the ZenSim app in just a few taps. You can top up extra data, more days, or even include an additional country on the same eSIM, you’ll find everything in the Zen Garden top up section.

Just sign in, head to the Zen Garden, and you’ll spot the option to top up your eSIM straight away.

Top up plan details: The France options mirror the website plans, with an added 10% savings.

Longer trips: If your adventure goes beyond 30 days, you can stack as many top ups as you like. Each one activates only after the previous plan ends, so you can buy them in advance without affecting your current eSIM.

Add more countries: Many of our eSIMs now support multi country top ups. For example, if you're using a Europe eSIM and have a stopover in Dubai, simply add a Dubai top up and it will activate automatically when you land without needing a new installation.

Not exactly. Once your France eSIM is active, it’s tied to that country.

If you're visiting more than one place, our regional Travel eSIMs offer broader coverage so you can roam freely across multiple destinations.

Yep, you can, can you should! For every friend or family member you refer to purchase a France eSIM, you will earn a A$5 voucher to use on your next purchase AND they will save A$5 on their purchase.

All you have to do is share your unique referral URL with them, which you can access after purchase, and if they click it and purchase the savings are automatic.

You can monitor your referrals and find your personal referral URL directly in the ZenSim app. Read our terms for full details.

Our France unlimited plans include a 3GB daily allowance, which is more than enough for most people - average daily usage tends to sit under 1GB.

If you happen to use more than that in a day, your speed gets limited to 1Mbps until midnight, at which point your full-speed allowance kicks back in.

This only applies to unlimited plans - if you've chosen a fixed-data plan like 10GB or 20GB, there's no daily throttling at all, just use it freely until it runs out. We'll let you know before that happens, and you can top up in seconds via the ZenSim app.

Your days and data don't start counting down the second you buy the eSIM - they only kick in once you actually land in France, so feel free to install it well ahead of your trip.

As long as it's already installed, it'll auto-activate the moment you arrive, and that's when the clock starts on your plan.

As for when it ends - your plan runs until either your data or your days are used up, whichever happens first (unless you're unlimited, in which case it's just the days that matter). A 30-day plan means it ends 30 days from your arrival in France, not 30 days from your purchase date.

Easy way to check - just run your phone through our eSIM compatibility checker and you'll know in seconds whether it'll work with our France eSIM and networks.

Still not sure, or something looks off? Reach out to us and we'll sort it out. And if it turns out your phone genuinely can't run the eSIM, our refund policy has you covered with a full refund - so there's no risk in grabbing a plan and giving it a go.

Yep, that's precisely why we offer a 100% money back guarantee.

Whether it's a cancelled trip, an incompatible phone, or your travel plans simply shifting, you're covered either way.

You'll find the full breakdown in our refund policy, but the gist is: can't install it, can't use it, we'll refund it in full. Simple as that.
