Europe Number

A French Phone Number Built Into Your eSIM

Europe Number sells a Europe-wide eSIM that comes with a real French mobile number issued on the Bouygues Telecom network. Unlike data-only travel eSIMs, every Europe Number plan includes unlimited calls and SMS in addition to mobile data, all working across 47 European countries from a single dual-SIM profile on your phone.

The provider operates as an authorised Bouygues Telecom partner, which means the network infrastructure behind the service is one of France's three national carriers rather than a patchwork of resellers. That distinction matters for call quality and SMS reliability, especially when verification messages fail on virtual numbers but work on real mobile numbers.

What You Buy: Data, Calls and SMS in Fixed Bundles

Europe Number offers eSIMs with four fixed data allowances: 20 GB, 30 GB, 60 GB or 120 GB. Each plan runs for 15 or 30 days of active use. There is also a France-only plan with 100 GB. Unlimited calls and SMS within the covered 47-country network are included with every plan, not as an add-on.

The pricing page does not appear in the captured content, so the site does not publish prices in the captured sections. Purchase happens through Stripe checkout, and the QR code arrives by email immediately after payment. Your plan duration begins only when you install and activate the eSIM on your phone, not when you buy it. The QR code itself stays valid for 12 months from purchase, so you can buy well in advance of your trip without pressure to activate.

Validity is generous by design. You have 12 months from purchase to activate the plan, and the plan duration (15 or 30 days) starts counting only once you do. If your travel plans shift before activation, Europe Number offers a 3-month full refund guarantee with no questions asked, provided the eSIM has not been activated and no data has been used.

Coverage and Network

The service covers 47 European countries and regions: France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Andorra, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Cyprus, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Gibraltar, Åland Islands, Azores, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, Monaco, Réunion, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin (France), Saint Pierre and Miquelon, San Marino, Switzerland, and Vatican.

The network is Bouygues Telecom, a French national carrier. The site does not name alternative networks or roaming agreements beyond Bouygues; coverage is the Bouygues footprint across the listed destinations.

All outgoing calls and texts are limited to numbers within the 47-country European region the eSIM covers. You cannot dial numbers outside Europe, though people anywhere can call or text your +33 number at no cost to you while you are in a supported country. To reach people outside Europe, you can use WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal over your data allowance.

Practical Details: Installation, Support and Device Compatibility

The eSIM activates automatically when your phone detects a supported European network. You receive your +33 number as an SMS as soon as activation happens. The whole process from QR code to live connection takes around two minutes.

Installation works with most recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices as long as they are eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked. The site provides a full compatibility list and step-by-step installation guides for both iPhone and Android.

Both your home SIM and the Europe Number eSIM stay active simultaneously, so calls and texts reach you on both lines at the same time. On a few devices the second line arrives but is switched off by default; checking your phone's mobile/cellular settings after installation usually takes care of this.

Support is available 24 hours a day by email and live chat. The support team can look up your +33 number before you activate if you submit your order number, which lets you share the number with employers or family before travel. If you need to check your exact data usage, you can also request it through support with your order number, ICCID and email; your phone's data counter drifts from the network measurement, so the support figure is the authoritative one.

Do not register the +33 number as your permanent two-factor authentication method for accounts you depend on. The number is released when your plan ends, and any account where it is the way you recover access can lock you out once the plan is over. One-off verification codes for booking sites or sign-up flows are fine; moving your main account security to the number is not. A small number of services also reject recently issued numbers outright on first attempt.

The site does not publish whether you can extend your plan on the same +33 number. At the end of your plan, the number is released, and buying another plan issues a new +33 number rather than continuing the old one. If you need a consistent number throughout a longer stay, choose a plan duration that covers the whole trip.

What the Site Leaves Open

Europe Number does not require identity verification, sign-up forms or a contract to cancel. You select a plan, pay through Stripe, and the QR code is yours. This simplicity comes at a cost: the site does not explain how long new numbers take to be issued or whether there is any delay between purchase and QR code receipt beyond "immediately after purchase". It also does not settle whether the number works as a primary or secondary line for banking, finance apps or services that tie account recovery to a single phone number, only that the team does not recommend using it for those purposes.

Europe Number is built for people who need a local European number for 15 to 30 days: employers, host families, landlords and booking portals that require one before you arrive. It is also useful for digital nomads and people on working visas who need a consistent number across multiple European countries without buying and switching SIMs at each border. It is not a solution if you need to keep your home number active worldwide or if you plan to stay beyond 30 days on a single eSIM. The refund guarantee and 12-month activation window make it practical to buy before you know your exact travel dates, as long as you activate before the code expires.
