What to know about mobile data in France

France is in the EU roaming area, and Monaco is not on that list even though it is surrounded by French territory. France is switching off 2G during 2026: Orange began on 31 March in the southwest and plans to finish by the end of the year, with SFR and Bouygues Telecom starting in late 2026. 3G is scheduled to follow from the end of 2028. Overseas departments such as Réunion or Guadeloupe need a separate look in any plan.

Before you go

  • If Monaco is on your route, look for it by name in the plan's country list. Do not assume a France plan includes it.
  • Taking the train or car shuttle to England? The UK is outside EU roaming, so a France-only or EU-only plan stops working on the other side.
  • In the Alps and Pyrenees, signal near the Swiss, Italian, Andorran and Spanish borders can come from the neighbouring country. Select the network manually if your plan is France only.

Yes. 8 of the providers we track sell unlimited plans for France; the cheapest is Holafly at $3.90 for 1 day. Unlimited plans often slow down after a daily amount, so read the fair-use note on the provider page.

Does a France eSIM work in Monaco?

Not automatically. Monaco is a separate country and is not on the EU roaming list. Check for Monaco by name in the plan, or expect to depend on French signal that reaches across the border.

Does the 2G shutdown in France affect travelers?

Not if your phone supports eSIM, since those phones all use 4G or 5G. It matters for old handsets and for trackers or other gadgets that still rely on 2G.
