How the Voice Plan Works

This eSIM provides mobile data alongside a genuine French mobile number for voice calls and SMS. The two directions—outgoing and incoming—work differently, and understanding this distinction helps you get the most from your plan.

Outgoing calls and SMS are unlimited, but only while you're physically present in geographic Europe. This includes the Faroe Islands, mainland Europe, the UK, Iceland, and other European territories. Step outside this zone, and outgoing capability stops.

Incoming calls and SMS are free and work anywhere in the world. Whether you're in Tórshavn, transiting through Copenhagen, or even back home after your trip ends, people can still reach you at your French number at no cost to you. This makes the number ideal for receiving bank verification codes, booking confirmations, and callbacks from local services.

The phone number is French (+33), not Faroese. Anyone calling you dials an international French number. For Faroese businesses, this is routine—they're accustomed to visitors with foreign numbers.

Is This Plan Right for You?

The Voice plan fits when: You're staying for weeks and need a reliable callback number for accommodation hosts, ferry bookings, or local appointments. You expect SMS verification codes from your bank or travel apps. You want people—colleagues, family, service providers—to reach you by phone without relying on internet-dependent apps. You're coordinating logistics that require actual phone conversations.

The standard data plan fits better when: Your trip is brief and you'll handle everything through WhatsApp, email, or other data-based messaging. You don't need anyone to call you back on a mobile number. You're comfortable using your home number's international roaming for the rare voice call. Your usage is primarily maps, social media, and light browsing rather than voice communication.

Traveller Tips

  • Share your French number with your rental host before arrival—they'll text door codes and check-in instructions directly to your eSIM line.
  • Add your new number to banking apps that require SMS verification; codes will arrive free of charge even if you leave Europe mid-trip.
  • Save the number in your contacts under a clear label so you can easily share it when booking tours or restaurants.
  • Keep your original SIM installed alongside the eSIM if your phone supports dual SIM—you can still receive calls to your home number via WiFi calling.
  • Remember outgoing calls work across geographic Europe, so you can call ahead to your Copenhagen hotel during a layover at no extra charge.
  • Since the line cannot be topped up, monitor your data usage through your phone's settings if you're a heavy user during a long stay.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The Voice eSIM provides a French (+33) mobile number rather than a local Faroese number. This is how the service operates across all European destinations. Anyone calling you will dial a French international number to reach you. Faroese businesses and services are accustomed to dealing with visitors who have foreign numbers.
No. Unlimited outgoing calls and SMS only work while you're physically in geographic Europe—including the Faroe Islands, mainland Europe, the UK, and Iceland. If you travel outside this geographic area, outgoing calls and SMS will not function. Incoming calls and SMS, however, are free and reach you anywhere in the world.
Yes. Incoming SMS messages are free and work anywhere in the world. You can update your banking apps to send verification codes to your French eSIM number, and they'll arrive whether you're in the Faroe Islands, elsewhere in Europe, or even after you've returned home—as long as the plan validity hasn't expired.
No. The Voice eSIM line cannot be refilled or topped up. When your data, minutes, or SMS allowance is exhausted, or when the 30-day validity period ends, the line closes permanently. If you anticipate heavy usage during an extended stay, consider purchasing a larger data allowance from the start.
No. Incoming calls and SMS are free of charge and do not deduct from your allowance. People can call or text your French number from anywhere in the world, and you'll receive those communications at no cost—whether you're in the Faroe Islands or have since travelled elsewhere.
When the 30-day validity period ends, the line closes and the French phone number is no longer active. You will not be able to make or receive calls and SMS on that number. Since there's no top-up option, you would need to purchase a new Voice eSIM if you require continued service.
