Avelis eSIM does not provide an eSIM for France that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are offered for this country, so travelers cannot receive or send SMS messages or make standard phone calls through the device’s native cellular network.
Instead, users can still stay connected by using VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. However, some destinations may restrict or block specific apps or VoIP services. Travelers should verify that the messaging or calling apps they rely on are accessible in France before purchasing a data‑only plan.
