Frequently asked questions

Gohub eSIM is one of the top-rated choices for France, with reliable 4G/5G coverage across Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, and major travel routes including TGV intercity corridors and the French Riviera. Plans range from daily data options and fixed data packs to an Unlimited 10 Mbps plan and 30-day Call & SMS bundles with a local French number. All plans activate instantly via QR code with no store visit or physical SIM required.

Yes. Gohub eSIM works throughout France by connecting to trusted local networks. Purchase a plan at gohub.com, scan the QR code before departure, and your eSIM activates automatically once your device detects a French network — including on arrival at Charles de Gaulle or Orly airport.

Installation is best done at home via Wi-Fi a day before you leave. On iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM. On Android, go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager (Samsung) or Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs (Pixel and other devices). Activation happens automatically — most plans only start their validity countdown once your device first connects to a local French network after landing, so installing early does not waste any of your plan days.

Yes. Gohub eSIM is significantly cheaper than standard carrier roaming in France. Most US carriers charge $5–$15 per day for international roaming. Gohub France eSIM plans deliver full-speed 4G/5G data up to your plan cap, then reduce to 128 kbps — or a consistent 10 Mbps on the Unlimited plan — making them far more affordable and predictable than daily roaming fees.

It depends on your usage style and trip length: Light usage (Maps, emails, WhatsApp, messaging): 3–5 GB covers a 1–2 week trip comfortably. The 5 GB / 15-day or 10 GB / 15-day plans are ideal. Moderate usage (social media, navigation, occasional streaming): 10–20 GB for a standard holiday. The 20 GB fixed or Call & SMS plan suits most travelers. Heavy usage (Instagram Stories, video calls, YouTube, remote work): 30 GB, 50 GB, or the Unlimited 10 Mbps plan offers worry-free connectivity throughout your stay. Short city breaks: The 1 GB/day or 2 GB/day plans give flexibility for 2–5 day trips to Paris or the French Riviera.

Yes. A Wi-Fi connection is required to download the eSIM profile initially. Once installed, your Gohub France eSIM works without Wi-Fi and connects to local networks like any standard mobile data plan. We recommend completing installation at home to avoid any airport connectivity delays on arrival.

Yes — this is one of the key benefits of eSIM. Your Gohub France eSIM handles mobile data while your physical home SIM stays active for incoming calls and texts. To avoid unexpected charges, turn Data Roaming OFF for your home SIM and ON for the Gohub France eSIM in your phone's cellular settings. If you choose a Call & SMS plan, you can also make local French calls through your eSIM line.

For a Gohub France eSIM to work, your device must meet two conditions. First, it must be carrier-unlocked — phones purchased through a carrier (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) and not fully paid off may be locked and will reject a third-party eSIM. Second, it must be eSIM-compatible: most flagship devices from 2020 onwards support eSIM, including iPhone XS/XR and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and most modern unlocked Android devices. On iPhone, check Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM; on Android, look under Settings > Connections > SIM Manager or Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs.

Yes. All Gohub France eSIM plans support mobile hotspot (tethering), so you can share your connection with a laptop, tablet, or travel companion's device. This is especially practical on TGV trains, in countryside villages, or at accommodation without strong Wi-Fi. If you're on a fixed-data plan, monitor your usage when tethering to avoid hitting your cap early — or choose the Unlimited 10 Mbps plan for worry-free sharing.

It depends on the plan you choose. Data-only plans (fixed GB and daily plans) provide mobile data without a local number — sufficient for most travelers using WhatsApp, Google Maps, and messaging apps. Call & SMS plans (20 GB and 100 GB, valid 30 days) include a local French phone number, which is useful for receiving 2FA bank codes, making restaurant reservations, booking tours, or any situation where a French mobile number is required. The local number is labeled "Local phone number France" on the plan selection page
