Why this one

The iPhone XS / XR doesn't need a 1 GB plan, and most people don't burn through unlimited.

The iPhone XS / XR natively supports eSIM with dual-SIM standby. Installation is a 60-second QR scan — see the install guide for the exact tap sequence.

In France, our wholesale routes ride Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom — 150 – 280 Mbps urban · 35 ms RTT. The 14-day window matches the median trip length we see for this destination, and 15 GB is what most travelers actually use — anything more is paid breathing room you don't draw on.

If your trip is shorter or longer, the France page has the alternates.

iPhone XS / XR in France

Before you buy.

For most iPhone XS / XR travelers in France we recommend the 14-day plan with 15 GB. It matches the median trip length we see for France, and iPhone XS / XR runs eSIM cleanly so the only real decision is how much data you need.
We picked 15 GB rather than unlimited because most iPhone XS / XR travelers in France never reach it — unlimited would be paid breathing room you do not draw on. If you stream or tether heavily, the unlimited option is one tap away on the country page.
Maps, messaging, and email on iPhone XS / XR sip data; video calls and streaming are what add up. Our pick — 15 GB over 14 days — covers a normal working trip to France with margin. Heavy streamers should size up.
Our iPhone XS / XR pick for France is $35 for 14 days — one up-front charge, no subscription, no surprise roaming bill. Stripe adds local tax based on your billing country at checkout.
In France, iPhone XS / XR routes on Orange, SFR, and Bouygues Telecom — 150 – 280 Mbps urban · 35 ms RTT. It hands off to whichever has the strongest signal where you are; you never pick the carrier manually.
After checkout the QR arrives by email; on iPhone XS / XR it is Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan. Under two minutes. The full step-by-step is on the iPhone XS / XR install guide.
The 14-day plan is our default, not the only option. The France page has shorter and longer windows, and you can top up the same iPhone XS / XR eSIM mid-trip without reinstalling if you run low.
Full refund if the France eSIM fails to activate on iPhone XS / XR; half refund if it activates but underperforms on Orange, SFR, and Bouygues Telecom. One click from your dashboard — no email thread.
