Here are some things our Customer Success Team said yes to recently
Why Use a Temporary Europe Phone Number?
For decades, phone numbers stayed tied to a single location and provider. Modern life — frequent travel, cross-border remote work, and endless app sign-ups — has changed that. More people now keep a temporary European number alongside their main line to juggle professional, personal, and transactional needs with far more control.
Best Europe eSIM When Arriving After a Long Flight
You land exhausted and need to reach your hotel, driver, or airline — but a data-only eSIM can’t make calls or receive texts. The first thing you need isn’t Instagram; it’s a phone call. That’s why a number-enabled eSIM matters most in those critical first moments after arrival.
Best eSIM for Monaco 2026
Monaco is a sovereign state with its own network — Monaco Telecom — separate from France despite sharing a border. Travellers are often caught out when eSIMs fail there: providers advertise “Western Europe” without confirming a roaming agreement with Monaco Telecom, the only licensed 4G and 5G operator in the Principality.
Best Monaco eSIM for Formula 1
The Monaco Grand Prix pulls tens of thousands of visitors into one of the world’s smallest countries, overwhelming local networks. An eSIM solves it: activate before you travel, load it straight onto your phone’s chip, and get instant connectivity on arrival — no physical SIM, no airport queues.

Coverage from the bottom of valleys to the top of mountains I had a really good experience with Traveller eSIM. Setting it up was quick and easy. It gave me great connectivity and reliable performance. I used it in Switzerland and Italy and had coverage everywhere, from the bottom of valleys to the top of mountains. Make sure you check that your mobile device is eSim compatible before you go overseas. My old device wasn’t compatible so I needed to take a newer phone with me.

No. Calls to regions outside of the European Countries listed is not possible.
Yes. Calls and text from outside Europe is possible. Pass on your new Europe Number to all your contacts to really stay in touch whilst traveling in Europe.
Yes. Setting up a redirect is usually quite straightforward but differs with each carrier. Sometimes you can set up a simple redirect on your phone yourself easily. Again this will depend on your carrier and may need to be done directly with the carrier.
Please check our esim compatible device list. Those listed devices support eSIM installation via automatic online activation. If your device is not listed there, unfortunately it will not work with Europe Number eSIM packages.
Please note that your device must be unlocked and free of any carrier restrictions in order to install eSIM data plans!
Europe Number eSim shall promptly refund payments for services that do not function, which are otherwise not usable by you, or which are no longer needed due to trip cancellation, change of plans, or any other reason, provided that no data has been consumed by the related service or the eSIM is not activated.
Please check our refund policy for details.
The Wi-Fi Hotspot / Internet Sharing feature is currently available with all fixed data plans and unlimited plans, including Apple iOS and Android smartphones.
If you are unable to access Wi-Fi Hotspot on your device with a Europe Number eSIM plan, please try to restart the phone. Sometimes this is required after installing the eSIM for the first time, to fully initialize the network settings and feature availability.
The availability of Wi-Fi Hotspot ultimately depends on the local network operator, and may be restricted in some situations. Although the Wi-Fi Hotspot feature should be available in all regions on all eSIM plans, unfortunately we cannot guarantee availability in every possible situation.
Search for an eSIM with number and most results lead to data-only plans that quietly leave out the one thing a SIM card has always done — give you a number you can call, text, and be reached on. Europe Number is different. Every plan is a genuine Europe eSIM with number included as standard: mobile data plus a real +33 French number for calls, SMS, and verification codes across 39 European countries. No upsell, no separate "number" product to add at checkout — it's simply how the plan works. Browse the Europe eSIM with number range →
An eSIM with a number works like a regular SIM card without the plastic — a digital profile that gives your phone a real mobile number capable of calls and SMS, not just a data connection. Most travel eSIMs skip this entirely, which is fine until a hotel calls to confirm a booking, a bank sends a one-time code, or a delivery driver needs to reach you and your only option is an app that requires Wi-Fi. An eSIM with phone number closes that gap, and for travel to Europe specifically, it means one French number that works the same way across every country on your trip — not a different workaround in each one.
It's worth being specific about the difference, because the two are often priced and marketed as if they're the same thing. A data-only eSIM gives you mobile internet and nothing else — no calls, no SMS, no way to receive a verification text. An eSIM with phone number gives you all of that on top of data, and for European travel it usually costs the same or less than what data-only providers charge for data alone. If a provider can't tell you whether their plan includes a number, it doesn't.
Most eSIMs sold for European travel are data-only. That means no calls, no SMS, and no OTP codes — and real frustration when hotels need to confirm your booking, apps block your login, or a driver needs to reach you on the road. Every Europe Number plan includes a genuine French +33 mobile number that works for calls, texts, and verification messages across 39 European countries. It sits on your screen alongside your home SIM, ready the moment you land. Learn more about how Europe Number works →
You have a flight booked, a hotel to confirm, and a dozen apps that will ask for a European number before they let you in. Europe Number is designed around exactly that trip. Buy your plan before you leave home — your eSIM QR code is valid for 12 months from purchase, so you have time to install it at your own pace. Scan the code in your phone settings and your number is live within minutes. No store queues, no SIM tray tools at the airport, no paperwork on arrival. Just coverage, from touchdown. Read the step-by-step installation guide →
Living between countries means needing a number that works on both sides of the border. Whether you are managing logins to French government services, receiving SMS from European banks, or giving local contacts a number they can actually reach, Europe Number gives you a stable +33 mobile number that behaves exactly like a resident's SIM. Activate it when you need it, use it across France and all 39 supported European countries, and let it expire when you are done — no contract to untangle, no account to close.
Remote work across Europe comes with a recurring problem — every new platform, every coworking Wi-Fi portal, every banking login wants a local number for verification. A data-only eSIM will not solve that. Europe Number gives you calls, SMS, two-factor authentication codes, and mobile data across 39 countries, all from a single +33 number that stays consistent wherever you move. Work from Lisbon one week and Amsterdam the next without changing SIMs or explaining your number to clients.
International roaming charges are unpredictable, billed after the fact, and far too easy to accumulate without noticing. With Europe Number, the price you see at checkout is the price you pay. Your eSIM connects directly to local networks across France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the UK, and 34 more countries and regions — at fixed rates with no surprise bills at the end of your trip. Unlimited calls and SMS within the covered European network are included in every plan as standard.
Services that require a European mobile number for one-time passwords and two-factor authentication are increasingly strict about which numbers they accept. VoIP numbers and app-based virtual numbers are frequently blocked or rejected outright. A real +33 French mobile number issued on the Bouygues Telecom network — the kind every Europe Number plan provides — carries significantly higher acceptance rates across booking platforms, banking apps, government portals, marketplaces, ride-share apps, and social networks. If the service requires SMS verification, this is the number to use.
Compare the value honestly. Where data-only eSIM providers offer 20 GB for a typical Europe trip budget, Europe Number plans include up to 120 GB of mobile data alongside unlimited calls and SMS — and a real phone number — all included as standard. You are not paying extra for the number; it comes with every plan. Options are available for 7, 15, and 30 days across our Europe-wide range, France plans, and individual country eSIMs covering destinations from Greece to Norway.
Europe Number operates as an authorised Bouygues Telecom partner. Bouygues is one of France's three national carriers, with 4G LTE and 5G coverage across France and partner network agreements spanning the full 39 European countries and regions we support. That means you are connecting to major carrier infrastructure — not a fragmented patchwork of resellers — with the call quality, SMS reliability, and network priority that comes with it.

Some eSIM providers ask you to create an account, verify your identity, or upload a passport scan before handing over a SIM. Europe Number does not. Select your plan, pay securely via Stripe, and receive your QR activation code by email. That is the entire process. No registration, no form, no contract to cancel later. If your travel plans change before you activate your eSIM, our 6-month full refund guarantee covers you without question.
Europe Number eSIMs work with most recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel devices. Your phone needs to be eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked. Installation takes around two to three minutes and uses the standard QR code method built into iOS and Android — no app download required. Not sure if your phone is supported? Check the full compatible devices list →
Your eSIM QR code remains valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, so you can buy well ahead of your trip without any pressure. Your plan duration — 7, 15, or 30 days — begins only when you install and activate the eSIM on your phone, not when you buy it. Changed plans before activating? Our 6-month refund guarantee means you can request a full refund on any unactivated plan, no questions asked. It is the kind of flexibility that makes buying in advance a genuinely sensible option.
