Our analysis of eSIMs for France from Maya Mobile
So just looking at the table above (it’s not bloody rocket science) one can make the following deductions:
- You can pay $1 more and almost double the days your eSIM is valid for the 3Gb to 40GB plans.
- The good new is that that Orange is the best French carrier in terms of network speed and Maya uses Orange in France – see our breakdown of the best cellphone providers in France here.
- The unlimited plans for just the 5 and 10 days plans are much cheaper than the 40GB of data for the same timeframe. This may seem odd but with all unlimited plans your data gets capped at 2Gb per day. You then get slower unlimited data at 1Mbps LTE.
- You’re probably going to travel elsewhere in the EU so getting an unlimited+ vs unlimited is a no brainer as they are both the same price it appears and the unlimited+ cover most of EU.
- The unlimited plans have a data cap at 5G speeds per day. 2 GB Daily High Speed Data then the High Speed Data is Refreshed Each Day. If you burn through the 2 GB of high speed data 5G then your speed is downgraded to Unlimited LTE (1Mbps) Data. This is probably plenty fast enough for web browsing and using Google / Apple Maps.
- Unless you plan to use a large amount of data on a single day, eg during the mens tennis final then the 2/5Gb per day of data on the unlimited plans will probably be fine.
So have a fantastic time in Paris and remember just buy an eSIM to take all the guess work out of your data needs – click this link to be whisked away to the Maya Mobile website.
