How to verify eSIM support on your device

1. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". You can also dial *#06# , if you see an "EID" (32-digit number), your phone has eSIM hardware.
2. Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
3. EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

Tip: Even if your phone supports eSIM hardware, it must be unlocked (not carrier-locked) to use third-party eSIMs like Cellesim. Most phones bought outright are unlocked; phones from carrier instalment plans may require unlocking after the contract is paid off.

Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 supports eSIM, making it ideal for international travel. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus a growing list of mid-range devices. If your phone has Settings → Cellular → "Add eSIM", you're ready to use a Cellesim plan abroad.

Travellers benefit most from eSIM because it eliminates the airport SIM-card queue, removes the need to swap your home SIM out, and lets you keep your usual phone number active for SMS verification. A Cellesim travel eSIM activates the moment you land , no shop visit required.

4. Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.
5. Region-specific variants: some Samsung models sold in Hong Kong or China are dual physical SIM with no eSIM , verify your specific model number.

Tip: if your current phone doesn't support eSIM but you travel often, an unlocked, mid-range eSIM-capable phone (e.g., Pixel 7a, iPhone SE 3, Samsung Galaxy A55) makes an excellent secondary travel device , pair it with a Cellesim plan and you have a full mobile internet kit for any destination.

 Yes, you can! You can scan and install your eSIM before your flight. Your plan only starts when you connect to a French network, meaning you’ll have instant internet upon landing. 

 A France eSIM allows you to connect instantly to local French networks like Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom, and Free Mobile, without inserting a physical SIM card.
Simply purchase your data plan, scan the QR code, and your eSIM activates within seconds. Perfect for travelers arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Nice Côte d’Azur, or Lyon Airport who need fast internet immediately. 

 Most new smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and Google Pixel 4+. Ensure your phone is unlocked and eSIM-enabled before purchasing. 

 No. Your France eSIM connects directly to French mobile operators, so there are no roaming fees. You’ll enjoy full-speed 4G/LTE local data anywhere in France. 

Most eSIM plans are data-only, but you can easily make calls and send messages using WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype, or Telegram. If you need a French number, you can use VoIP or virtual number services.

It depends. France is in the EU, so "Roam Like at Home" applies only to EU citizens.

• If you are from the UK (Post-Brexit): Most UK carriers (like O2, Vodafone, Three) have reintroduced daily roaming fees (e.g., £2-£5 per day).
• If you are from the USA/Canada: Your home carrier (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) will likely charge you a $10-$14 daily pass.

A Cellesim eSIM is a one-time prepaid fee, making it significantly cheaper than all these daily roaming charges.

 This specific plan is valid only within France. This is crucial if you are on a European tour. If you take the Eurostar to London (UK) or a train to Barcelona (Spain) or Berlin (Germany), your connection will stop at the border. For a seamless multi-country trip, we highly recommend our Europe Regional eSIM, which covers all of France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and more with one single plan. 

Yes, absolutely. France has excellent infrastructure. You will have reliable 4G/LTE (and 5G) coverage inside the Paris Metro stations and tunnels. On the TGV (high-speed train), you will have a stable connection for most of the journey, though it may briefly drop in very remote countryside tunnels. It's perfect for watching movies or using SNCF Connect (the train app). 

 To give you the best speed and coverage, our eSIM connects to France’s premium Tier-1 networks, typically Orange, SFR, or Bouygues Telecom. Orange is widely considered the best network in the country, ensuring you have a reliable signal whether you are at the Eiffel Tower or hiking in the French Alps (Chamonix). 

Install it before you fly! Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport Wi-Fi can be slow and requires registration. We strongly recommend you install the eSIM at home (while you have Wi-Fi). The plan's validity only starts when you land in France. This way, you are connected the moment your plane lands, allowing you to order an Uber/Bolt or check Google Maps without searching for Wi-Fi or paying roaming fees.
