Coverage in France

B20 (800 MHz) is the primary rural/suburban LTE coverage band across all operators; some foreign-market phones lack B20, resulting in reduced indoor and rural coverage. Orange has decommissioned its 2G and 3G networks as of 2026.

Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your France eSIM

Possibly less well. B20 (800 MHz) is the primary coverage band used by all French operators for rural and indoor LTE. If your phone lacks B20, you may experience weaker reception and slower data in the countryside or inside buildings compared to a device that supports it.

The eSIM connects to available networks automatically. Orange decommissioned its 2G and 3G networks as of 2026, so if your device lands on Orange and does not support 4G or 5G on its bands, you will have no service. Other operators still operate older networks.

This eSIM is designed for France only. Coverage does not extend to Monaco, Corsica, or neighboring countries unless specified. Corsica is part of France, but check coverage details. For multi-country trips, consider a regional plan that includes those destinations.

5G is available if your device supports the bands used by French operators. Orange uses n1, n3, n7, n20, n28, and n78. SFR and Bouygues use n1, n28, and n78. Free uses n28 and n78. Check your phone’s 5G band compatibility, especially n28 and n78, as they are common across all operators.

No. eSIMs for France purchased from this service do not require in-person ID checks or government registration. Activation is remote and does not involve French SIM registration laws that apply to physical SIMs from some local shops.
