France Unlimited eSIM – Daily Data That Never Cuts Off

Google Maps recalculating for the fifth time today, one more museum lookup before the Métro closes, and you need your connection to last — not run dry at the worst moment. The eSIMno France Unlimited eSIM gives you 1 GB of high-speed data every day, then slows to 128 Kbps instead of cutting you off. Navigation, messaging and email keep working; you just cannot stream video at that speed.

How the Unlimited Plan Works

Every day you get 1 GB of high-speed data. Use it for navigation, photo uploads, social media — whatever you need. Once that 1 GB is gone, your speed drops to 128 Kbps for the remainder of the day. The connection stays active; it simply becomes slower.

At 128 Kbps you can still load map routes, send and receive messages on WhatsApp or iMessage, and check email. You cannot comfortably stream video or make VoIP calls — the bandwidth is too narrow. Think of the slowdown as an always-on safety net for essential tasks, not a full-speed fallback.

The daily allowance resets at 00:00 UTC. That is a fixed moment in UTC, not midnight where you are, so check your phone's UTC offset if you plan around it. After the reset you have a fresh 1 GB of high-speed data.

This is a data-only eSIM. There is no French phone number, no ability to make or receive voice calls, and no SMS. If you need to be reachable by phone, keep your home SIM active for calls or use a VoIP app over data during high-speed windows.

Navigation Without Limits

Maps and transit apps stay usable even after the daily high-speed quota is spent.

Is This Plan Right for You?

The France Unlimited eSIM fits travellers whose data use centres on navigation, messaging and quick lookups. If you spend your days walking through cities with Google Maps open, checking museum hours, and sending photos to friends, the 1 GB daily quota will usually be enough — and even when it is not, the 128 Kbps fallback keeps those apps functional. You get peace of mind knowing you will never lose your connection entirely.

This plan is not the best choice if you rely on video streaming, video calls or uploading large files throughout the day. The slowdown after 1 GB makes those activities impractical. It is also limited to 7 days; for longer trips you should explore the France for standard data bundles with extended validity. And because there is no phone number, travellers who need to receive voice calls or SMS verification codes should look at alternatives that include a local number.

Traveller Tips

  • Download offline maps for Paris, Lyon or wherever you are headed — they use far less data than live map tiles and work even in the slowdown window.
  • Queue large photo uploads for your high-speed window early in the day; once you drop to 128 Kbps, uploads will crawl or time out.
  • Use messaging apps in text mode rather than auto-downloading media; at reduced speed, images and voice notes load slowly.
  • The daily reset happens at 00:00 UTC — set a UTC clock widget on your phone so you always know when fresh data arrives.
  • Keep your home SIM installed for any calls or SMS you absolutely must receive; this eSIM is data only and cannot handle voice.
  • If your trip exceeds 7 days, buy a standard data plan with longer validity instead of chaining multiple Unlimited bundles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Your connection slows to 128 Kbps for the rest of the day but is never cut off. At that speed, maps, messaging apps and email continue to work. Video streaming and VoIP calls will not function well. Your full-speed quota resets at 00:00 UTC.
No. The France Unlimited eSIM cannot be refilled or topped up. When your validity period ends, the line closes. If you need more connectivity, you will need to purchase a new eSIM.
No. This is a data-only eSIM. It does not provide a phone number, voice calls or SMS. If you need to make voice calls, use a VoIP app like WhatsApp or Skype over your data connection during your high-speed window.
Yes. At 128 Kbps you can load map routes, get turn-by-turn directions and search for nearby places. The map may take a few extra seconds to render, but navigation remains functional. Downloading offline maps in advance makes the experience smoother.
The daily high-speed quota resets at 00:00 UTC. That is a fixed moment in UTC, not midnight where you are, so check your phone's UTC offset if you want to plan around it.
The longest France Unlimited plan is 7 days. For trips beyond a week, a standard France data plan with longer validity is a better choice. You can find those options on the main France eSIM page.

Seamless global eSIM coverage

Get Started
The France Unlimited eSIM delivers 1 GB of high-speed data every day of your plan. Once you use that allowance, the connection slows to 128 Kbps for the rest of the day — but it never disconnects. At that reduced speed, maps still load, messaging apps work normally, and email comes through without trouble. Video streaming and voice-over-IP calls will not function well, so this is a data-navigation plan rather than an entertainment plan. The daily quota resets at 00:00 UTC; that is a fixed moment in UTC, not midnight where you are, so check your phone's UTC offset if you plan around it. This is a data-only eSIM with no phone number, no voice calls and no SMS. The Unlimited family suits travellers who burn through data on navigation and real-time lookups but can live without video. If your day revolves around walking routes, transit schedules, and quick searches for opening hours, you will rarely notice the slowdown because maps and text-based apps stay usable. If you need to stream content, join video calls, or want a local French number for voice, this plan is not the right fit — standard data bundles with higher single-use allowances will serve you better. Plans run from 1 to 7 days. There is no top-up or refill option; when your validity ends, the line closes and you purchase a new eSIM if you need more time. For trips longer than a week, consider buying a larger standard data plan rather than chaining multiple Unlimited bundles. The eSIM works on Bouygues and Orange, giving you solid coverage across cities and most rural areas in France.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Find helpful information to answer your questions

How do I delete an eSIM I no longer need?
On iPhone: Settings > Cellular > tap the eSIM line > Remove eSIM. On Android: Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > tap the eSIM > Erase. Deleting the eSIM frees up a profile slot. Make sure you don't need it anymore - once deleted, you can't reinstall the same profile.
What should I do if I see a 'No network' message after activating my eSIM?
If you see a 'No network' message after activation, try these steps in order: (1) Toggle airplane mode on for 10 seconds, then off. (2) Confirm data roaming is enabled for the eSIM line. (3) Manually select a network in cellular settings. (4) Restart your phone. If the issue continues, contact eSIMno support via WhatsApp or email.
Can I switch the eSIM to a different phone after activation?
Generally no. Once an eSIM is activated on a device, it's tied to that device. If you switch phones, you'll need to install a new eSIM. Some carriers offer eSIM transfer features, but eSIMno plans don't currently support transfer between devices.
Can I install multiple eSIMs on the same phone?
Yes. Modern iPhones and Android devices support multiple eSIM profiles - typically 5 to 8 stored profiles, with 1 or 2 active simultaneously. You can install eSIMs for different countries and switch between them in settings without removing any.
Will the eSIM affect my phone's battery life?
Running two SIM lines (physical + eSIM) uses slightly more battery than one, since the phone monitors both networks. The difference is usually 5-10% over a full day. To minimize impact, disable the line you're not actively using or turn off cellular data on the inactive line.
What data plans are available for the France-unlimited eSIM?
eSIMno provides various data plans ranging from 1 GB to unlimited data, with options from 7 days to 90 days of service. Plans also include regional and lifetime options for travelers who want flexibility across multiple destinations.
Is unlimited data really unlimited?
Unlimited plans provide unlimited data at high speed (4G/5G) up to a fair-use threshold defined per plan. Beyond that threshold, speeds may be reduced to 128 Kbps for the remainder of the validity period - still usable for messaging and basic browsing, but slower for streaming and video calls.
What network speeds can I expect?
Most eSIMno plans connect at 4G/LTE or 5G speeds depending on local network availability and your device's capabilities. Speed varies by location, network congestion, and signal strength. In major cities and tourist areas, expect speeds comparable to local mobile carriers.
Can I make phone calls or send SMS?
eSIMno is a data-only service, so you can't make traditional voice calls or send SMS through the eSIM line. However, you can use messaging and calling apps over data - WhatsApp, iMessage, FaceTime, Telegram, Signal, and Google Meet all work normally.
How do I top up my France-unlimited eSIM?
To top up your France-unlimited eSIM data, log in to the 'My eSIMs' section in the eSIMno Center on our website or mobile app. Select the eSIM you want to top up and follow the on-screen instructions to add more data without losing your current connection.
Does the eSIM work on cruise ships or airplanes?
eSIMs use ground-based cellular networks, so they don't work in flight or at sea outside coastal coverage. They activate as soon as you connect to a partner network on land. For in-flight or maritime data, you'll need the airline or ship's onboard Wi-Fi.
What smartphones support eSIM?
Most modern devices support eSIM, including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 through S25 series, Google Pixel 4 and later, Huawei P40 and later, and many recent iPads. Check our full compatibility list before purchasing to confirm your device is supported.
