What is an eSIM?

The eSIM, short for embedded SIM, is a virtual replacement of the SIM card. Supported on most newer smartphones, eSIM technology enables tourists to skip paying expensive roaming fees and go online with ease.

With an eSIM-compatible phone, you no longer have to carry around multiple SIM cards or the SIM tray ejector tool to swap your different numbers. Even installing a new eSIM is a breeze as you only need to scan a QR code as opposed to swapping your SIM cards.

Holiday eSIM France vs your home plan when traveling

The advantage of choosing Holiday eSIM France is that you get a premium connectivity experience that’s affordable and reliable compared to activating an international plan on your carrier. You can make unlimited calls and send unlimited texts not only in France but the entirety of Europe.

Holiday eSIM France also eliminates roaming charges as you would be connecting to local networks.

Additionally, you will experience superior network strength, giving you access to high-speed 4G/5G mobile Internet, giving you smooth browsing, streaming, and downloading.

Moreover, getting the Holiday eSIM France is fast and easy and does not lock you into any plan. You can enjoy all the benefits provided by the plan until it expires.

Privacy and reliability

With Holiday eSIM France, your communications are encrypted and secure. This may not always be the case when you are using free Wi-Fi. There are many risks associated with connecting to unsecured Wi-Fi. You can read about it here. 

Our partnership with leading local networks also gives you excellent network connectivity across the region. You can free yourself from the frustration of dealing with slow Internet speeds while traveling.

Cost-effective connectivity

If you go with your carrier’s international data plan, you may end up paying way too much per GB. The Holiday eSIM France comes with data packages ranging from 6GB to 30GB, with plans in the 15$ - 30$ range. Even if the plan comes advertised as unlimited, get ready for ridiculously slow 2G speeds! (256Kbps to 64Kbps).

With our France eSIMs, you can get 4G/5G Internet along with free voice credit and a phone number.

Extended coverage

Holiday eSIM France will keep you connected across Europe as it covers over 40 countries in the region. With the Holiday eSIM Global, you can enjoy connectivity in nearly 190 countries. 

Easy set-up

To get started with the Holiday eSIM France, all you need is an eSIM-compatible smartphone and an email address. You do not need to produce documents or ID proofs to get a connection. Installing is also easy as you just need to scan a QR code.
