What You Need to Prepare for Getting a SIM Card at Paris Airport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When purchasing your Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport SIM card, be sure to come prepared with the below items to ensure a smooth process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Passport <\/strong>&#8211; You&#8217;ll need to show your passport as identification when purchasing a SIM card. Many kiosks or retailers will require a photocopy as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cash<\/strong> &#8211; While some SIM vendors take cards, it&#8217;s best to have euros in cash on hand, as not all accept credit\/debit. Plan for around 10-20 euros for a basic prepaid SIM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unlocked Phone<\/strong> &#8211; Make sure your phone is unlocked and not tied to a specific carrier back home. This allows you to insert any international SIM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Know what network you want<\/strong> &#8211; Decide in advance if you prefer Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom, or another carrier. Kiosks specialize in different networks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Usage Needs<\/strong> &#8211; Consider data needs, and calling\/text allowances so you pick the right prepaid refill package. Most offer options for 1-2 weeks of light to heavy usage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Passport\/DL information<\/strong> &#8211; Be ready to provide your full name, date of birth, and sometimes home address for activation paperwork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activation instructions<\/strong> &#8211; Make sure to read the instructions for inserting the SIM and activating the service on your phone&#8217;s settings menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the proper paperwork, cash, and preparation will help you easily purchase a prepaid SIM upon arrival at CDG for affordable connectivity around Paris and France. Most kiosks are located near baggage claim in Terminals 2E and 2F.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/SIM-CARD-PARIS-AIRPORT-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"SIM Card at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport\" class=\"wp-image-3753\" style=\"width:840px;height:630px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/SIM-CARD-PARIS-AIRPORT-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/SIM-CARD-PARIS-AIRPORT-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/SIM-CARD-PARIS-AIRPORT-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/SIM-CARD-PARIS-AIRPORT-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/SIM-CARD-PARIS-AIRPORT-1-510x383.jpg 510w, https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/SIM-CARD-PARIS-AIRPORT-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>SIM Card at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"iv-e-sim-as-an-alternative-to-sim-card-at-paris-charles-de-gaulle-airport\">IV. eSIM as an Alternative to SIM Card at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/europe-sim-card-8.jpg\" alt=\"Europe eSIM\" class=\"wp-image-3658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/europe-sim-card-8.jpg 630w, https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/europe-sim-card-8-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/europe-esim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2024\/02\/europe-sim-card-8-510x589.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Europe eSIM<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In addition to physical SIM cards, eSIM (embedded SIM technology) has emerged as a convenient alternative for international travelers.
