Stay connected across France with a prepaid eSIM from Sim Local.
Whether you're exploring Paris, working remotely from Lyon, or hiking in the French Alps, our France eSIM plans give you fast data, instant setup via QR code or app, and no roaming fees on top networks such as Orange & Lycamobile.
Select the destination you’re traveling to and choose your data plan. Remember to check if your mobile device is compatible.
Purchase your plan. Install your eSIM 1 day before the trip and follow our step-by-step instructions to install your eSIM.
When you arrive, you'll connect to the same 4G and 5G networks as the locals!
Many networks advertise “unlimited data” but slow you down after just 3GB or 5GB. At Sim Local, you get up to 10GB of full-speed data daily. No buffering, no lag - just smooth streaming, maps that load, and hassle-free sharing, so your time in France stays stress-free.
Curious what you can do with 10GB Daily Data vs Throttled Speeds?

Sim Local offers prepaid France eSIM plans that make it easy to stay connected across France. Whether you are coming to France from the USA, UK, Australia or anywhere else, with Sim Local you can avoid expensive roaming charges and enjoy fast data, instant activation, and flexible France eSIM plans with no physical SIM card or contract required.
Most smartphones today support eSIM technology, but there are still a few models that do not. Easily check if your smartphone or tablet is eSIM-compatible using our eSIM compatibility checker.
Sim Local France eSIM plans connect you to top networks like Orange, Lycamobile and Smartroam. These trusted providers offer strong coverage across cities, rural areas, and travel routes perfect whether you're working remotely or sightseeing around France.
Yes. So you can choose a data only eSIM plan for France or a local eSIM plan for France from Orange or Lycamobile which include calls & texts along with data.
We recommend activating your France eSIM just before you fly so that when you land in France and switch on your phone & data, you are immediately connected. Your France eSIM plan won't work until you are in France (unless the plan also includes roaming data for the country you are in).
A France plan should work on any eSIM compatible phone that is not locked into a network.
In most cases, using a France eSIM will be cheaper than using roaming data. Check your plan with your home network to see how expensive roaming data is or if roaming data in France is included in your home plan. If not, then choosing a France eSIM will definitely be a safer option than risking an expensive roaming bill or being stuck with no network connection.
When you choose a local eSIM plan for France from Sim Local, you will be connected to a top local network like Orange or Lycamobile and treated like a local customer - not a roaming visitor. That means faster data speeds, and less risk of being deprioritised at busy times compared to using your home network’s roaming add-on.
Yes, we also offer eSIMs for Germany, Italy, and Spain. Explore our plans for Germany, Italy, or Spain. Or stay connected across Europe with one Europe eSIM plan which will keep you connected across the continent.
