Navigating Data Roaming in France: Essential 2025 Guide

France in 2025: amazing landscapes, incredible culture, but data roaming? That's where it gets tricky. Traditional carriers charge a fortune, and surprise bills can ruin your trip. Good news: eSIM changes things. With GoMoWorld, you install one eSIM valid in 200+ destinations and buy data plans as you need them.

EU travelers get roaming protection in France, but if you're coming from outside the EU, watch out—your carrier will likely charge a lot. Maps, social media, video calls... everything eats data and the bill adds up fast. Here's what major carriers charge in 2025. Always check with your carrier before you leave. With GoMoWorld, you skip all this and get local rates from €3.99.

Pas de stress : Traditional roaming can hit €50/day easily. Download the GoMoWorld app and avoid the surprise bill.

Four big operators dominate France's mobile scene, all with solid coverage across the country. 5G is rolling out fast in 2025—cities get speeds up to 1Gbps. Rural areas have improved a lot, but some remote spots still run on 4G. GoMoWorld eSIMs connect directly to these local networks, so you get the same quality service without swapping SIM cards. Here's who's who:

• Orange: France's biggest, 99% coverage, strong 5G (80%+ upgraded). Best for traveling nationwide. Avg 5G: 150Mbps.
• SFR: Strong in cities, 70% 5G coverage. Competitive plans, a bit weaker in rural zones. Avg 5G: 120Mbps.
• Bouygues Telecom: Good value, solid 4G/5G mix (85% 5G). Reliable in tourist spots like Paris and Provence.
• Free Mobile: Cheap, 5G covers 75%, but spotty in remote areas. Good for light use.

Retiens l'essentiel : GoMoWorld connects to Orange and SFR for best coverage. Check our France plans from €3.99.
