What this trip actually needs
- Email, Slack, and calendar sync running all day without babysitting a data cap
- Full-speed hotspot for the laptop - hotel and venue Wi-Fi are the least reliable part of any trip
- Video calls that hold up: a one-hour call uses roughly 0.5–1 GB depending on quality
- No expense-report surprises: prepaid balance, receipt at purchase, no daily fees stacking up
Budget math for France
A working week runs 1–2 GB/day with video calls in the mix. At France's $0.80/GB, a $20 top-up (≈ 25.0 GB) covers most one-week trips - versus $10–16/day in carrier day-pass fees for the same usage.
Coverage rides Orange and SFR, selected automatically by signal. Strong nationwide, including TGV corridors. Alpine valleys and deep rural areas can dip to 3G.
Setup is a QR scan (or one-tap install on iPhone) - do it on Wi-Fi before you fly and you're online the minute you land. Full walkthrough on how it works.
Working on the road from France
France demands two things a lot of business travelers underestimate: French keyboard support on your phone if you're taking notes in meetings (an input-method download is a one-time 40 MB), and the Chorus Pro / DocuSign flows that many French clients now require for contract signing on the spot. A working day in Paris La Défense or Lyon Part-Dieu is 1.5-2.5 GB with Teams calls, Slack, and the inevitable last-minute deck edits over hotel Wi-Fi that struggles with SharePoint. On VAT: Anon eSIM invoices in USD, so the French 20% TVA reclaim exercise doesn't apply - useful for the many consultants billing US or UK entities from a French project. Hotspot at 5G speeds on Orange typically clocks 100-250 Mbps in central Paris.
