Nomad eSIM Data Plans for France

Nomad does not provide a truly unlimited data plan for France. The plans that carry the word “unlimited” in the name actually grant a 2GB per day allowance; once that daily quota is used, the connection speed is throttled to 1000 kbps. Because of this restriction, they are not unlimited in the sense of continuous high‑speed data without limits.

For travelers who need more data without daily caps, Nomad offers fixed‑amount plans such as a 20GB plan valid for 30 days and a 50GB plan also valid for 30 days. These options give higher data allowances within a single subscription period without the daily limit that applies to the “unlimited” plans.

Nomad does not provide France eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. Travelers can only purchase data‑only eSIMs from Nomad for use in France. For voice and text, users are expected to rely on internet‑based services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage. Because some destinations may block or limit certain VoIP apps, it is advisable to confirm that the applications a traveler needs will work in France before buying a Nomad eSIM.

Nomad offers 10 single‑country data plans that cover France alone, and 27 multi‑country plans that include France as one of the destinations. The catalogue contains both daily‑cap options, where users receive a fixed amount of data each day, and fixed‑cap offerings that provide a single, larger data allowance for the entire validity period. Prices across the plans range from about $3.00 to $170.00, while data caps vary from 1 GB to 50 GB, with validity periods that can be as short as 3 days or extend up to 365 days. Tethering is allowed on many of these plans.
