eSim France : Always Connected
eSim for France is becoming increasingly popular for tourists, but what is an eSim? To put it simply, an eSim is the digital version of the good old Sim card. A chip that is already built into your cell phone. This allows operators to identify your phone without having to provide you with a physical SIM card. Additionally, phones that support eSim are dual SIM, so you can keep your existing SIM card in your device when you return.
Traveling to France
Planning a trip to France can certainly seem like a very complex and exhausting process. Because travelers usually try to cover several cities in one trip, they don’t have to search for an extra cellular plan or SIM card. With an eSim, you can do this before you even arrive at your destination.
