As soon as you touch down at CDG, your phone is not on an aeroplane anymore. And as soon as you get off the flight, you see a long queue of tired and frustrated travellers waiting to buy a SIM at a kiosk. You, on the other hand, can already be booking rides or navigating your way to your Airbnb/hostel/hotel. Why? Because you chose to activate your travel eSIM at the airport using free Wi-Fi, or you had already activated your eSIM before you took off.
What does it look like for you? You walk smoothly from passport control to the exit. No paper forms, no hunting for a kiosk, no stressed, awkward conversations after a red-eye flight, just instant, seamless connection as soon as you land. Just get ready to explore!

How to activate an eSIM plan for France?
It is always recommended to activate your eSIM before you take off from your home country or to activate it using airport Wi-Fi as soon as you land. So that you don’t spend a huge bill for roaming on your home SIM.
Please NOTE:
- Make sure, while choosing the plan, you select the option of eSIM.
- The device you are buying the eSIM for is compatible with eSIMs.
When “Dual SIM” Becomes Your Secret Weapon
The biggest perk for travellers when they choose an eSIM option as their travel SIM is:
For short-term usage, you get data options as per your usage, no contract or commitment. You can keep your home SIM active for iMessages, WhatsApp, bank OTPs and other alerts. Your Lyca eSIM in France gives you cheap local and international calling options along with the comfort of roaming data.
