In this destination (France), Alizeoo plans run on the networks of local partner operators: Orange, SFR, Bouygues. With automatic network selection, your phone connects to whichever network is available; you can also choose the operator manually in your settings. The exact list of networks for each plan is shown on its page before you buy.
Activation : Automatic on arrival. You can install the eSIM before departure without using any data.
4G and 5G
Mobile networks in the country: 4G / 5G. 5G is only used if the plan, the partner operator and your phone all support it; otherwise, you connect over 4G. Actual speeds vary with location, time of day and how busy the network is: we do not advertise a guaranteed speed.
eSIM, local SIM card or roaming?
Three ways to get online when you arrive. None of them is the best choice every time: it all depends on how long you are staying and what you need.
Alizeoo data eSIM
- Installed before you leave, with no shop visit and no card to insert
- Your usual SIM stays in place for calls and texts
- Price including VAT known in advance, with no activation fee
- Data only: no local number
- You need a compatible, unlocked phone
Local SIM card
- A local number to make calls and receive texts while you are there
- Often good value for a long stay
- Bought on arrival, sometimes with ID required
- You have to remove or disable your usual SIM if your phone is not dual SIM
- Offers and terms in the local language
Roaming with your operator
- Nothing to install: you keep your number
- Handy for very occasional use
- Can be expensive outside the zones included in your plan
- Rates and allowances to check with your operator before you travel
If your mobile plan is from a European Union country, roaming within the EU is generally charged as it would be at home (the “Roam like at home” rule), within the limits set by your operator.
Detailed comparison: eSIM, local SIM card or roaming.
Install your eSIM in 3 steps
- Choose a plan and pay: the QR code and installation link arrive by email and in your account.
- Before you leave, on Wi-Fi: scan the QR code or tap “Install in one tap”. Name the line Alizeoo.
- When you arrive: choose Alizeoo for mobile data and turn on data roaming for that line.
You need a phone that supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. As a guide: iPhone XS, XR and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Most iPhones sold in mainland China do not have eSIM: check your model.
Staying connected: France
Public Wi-Fi
Free Wi-Fi is common in cafés, hotels and many railway stations, but it is often open and unencrypted. For payments and your accounts, use your mobile data instead.
Useful apps
For trains, the SNCF Connect app lets you buy tickets and keep them on your phone. In the big cities, public transport and map apps show real-time timetables.
Areas with weaker coverage
Coverage is extensive in towns and cities and along major routes. In the mountains, in some rural areas and in tunnels, the signal can be weak: download offline maps before you set off.

Frequently asked questions: eSIM, France
France: which networks does the Alizeoo eSIM use?
For this destination (France), plans use the following partner operators: Orange, SFR, Bouygues. The exact network for each plan is shown on its page before you buy.
France: can I install the eSIM before I travel?
Yes, and we recommend it: install it at home on Wi-Fi, then activate it when you arrive (mobile data on Alizeoo, data roaming turned on). The plan's validity period generally starts the first time you connect in the covered country; the plan's page gives the details.
France: will I get a phone number?
No. Alizeoo provides mobile data, with no phone number and no standard calls. Internet calling apps (WhatsApp, FaceTime, Messenger and so on) work over data, and your usual SIM can stay active to receive calls and texts.
Does my European mobile plan already work in France?
If your plan is from a European Union country, roaming in France is generally included within the limits set by your operator. An Alizeoo eSIM is useful if your plan is from a country outside the EU, or if your roaming data allowance is too small.
Can I use the France eSIM in the French overseas departments?
Only the countries and territories listed on the plan's page are covered. Check the list before you buy: overseas territories are not necessarily included in a plan for mainland France.
