Full-speed data
Some roaming plans slow down after a few hundred megabytes a day. A 50GB plan is $34 of high-speed data on 4G/5G where available, until that allowance is used.
Direct Access
Connect directly to Orange, France's best network. No low-priority roaming tiers, no MVNO throttling.
Europe eSIM vs roaming vs Airalo vs Holafly
If you are comparing connectivity options for a Europe trip, you usually end up choosing between carrier roaming, a data-only eSIM marketplace (like Airalo or Holafly), or a region-focused eSIM with voice (like Vaya Con Data on Orange).
Roaming is convenient but expensive—often $10–15/day, and C$16–$18/day on Bell or Rogers in Europe. Marketplace eSIMs cut cost but frequently skip phone numbers. Vaya Con Data targets travelers who want Orange-class data and a French +33 number for SMS, bookings, and local calls. Start with our plan prices, the Bell / Rogers roaming math, or vs Airalo.
