Nomad eSIM Data Plans for France

No, Nomad does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM for France. The plans that include “unlimited” in their name provide a hard limit of 2GB per day, after which the speed is reduced to 1000kbps.

Nomad’s fixed‑data alternatives include the Local France – 30 Days – 50 GB plan for $35 USD and the Local France – 30 Days – 20 GB plan for $21 USD, both offering 5G coverage in France.

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.
