]]> Cellular Abroad’s eSIM options for France offer unparalleled data speeds and coverage throughout France. Data is fundamental for tasks such as GPS, checking your email, using social media and researching hotels and restaurants among other things. While the eSIM options are only data, you can make calls with one of the many apps that are available such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype or Talkatone. We recommend Talkatone as you can call to landlines as well, plus, it is free to download and free to use. If you plan on traveling outside of France, we recommend using our Europe eSIM.
Select how much data you need for your Italy trip, make a purchase and we will send you a QR code and instructions regarding how to activate the eSIM.
Please note that your cell phone, besides being eSIM compatible, must also be unlocked.
Here is how to check to see if your phone or iPad is unlocked and eSIM compatible. Go to:
– Settings
– General
– Information
– Carrier lock : you will see in this field “NO SIM restrictions” or “SIM restricted” which means it is unlocked.
In case your device is locked,  contact your carrier and see if you qualify to have the device “unlocked” (you just need to provide its IMEI that you can find under the Settings or dial *#06# to display it on your screen).

]]> Your France hotspot rental offers virtually unlimited 4G/5G LTE data for your trip. You can use our Wifi hotspot with any Wi Fi enabled device including cell phones (even those locked to a specific carrier), tablets, PCs and any other device with Wi Fi anywhere in France as well as the rest of Europe. Using the hotspot is easy; simply power it on, enter the passcode that we provide you on to your personal device and you are ready to go use the data. You can connect up to 10 devices at the same time.

*Please note that, although it is standard policy in the cellular business to advertise the term, “unlimited” Cellular Abroad wants to make it clear that users have 20GB of high speed data per each 30 day period. 99% of travelers will find that the data provided is sufficient for their needs, including heavy users of browsing and GPS.

]]> Rent a cell phone for your trip to France and get unlimited high-speed data and unlimited calls and texts in France. Our rentals are charged and to use as soon as you land in France. Simply select the type of phone you want to rent, enter the departure and return dates and your rental fee will be calculated. You will receive the cell phone 2-3 days before your departure, time permitting. Your package includes the phone with the SIM, plus all chargers and adapters, instructions, and a return package.

Please note that to call or text the USA or Canada, you must use an app. We highly recommend Talkatone as it is easy to use, free to download and, unlike many other apps, you can call landlines. WhatsApp of course is a great app but the limitation is that both users need to have it on their phone. Also, please note that to download most apps, you must rent an iPhone 6 or above.

While you can make calls in France and text in France without an app, many users tend to use their phones for activities involving data more than for calling. With any of our phone rentals, you can book hotels, check into your flight, use maps, check emails, and more with a cell phone. Again, the iPhone 5 and the Android rentals are good primarily for calling and browsing but not for downloading apps as most apps require a more recent operating system.
