## Good to know

### Install before you fly

Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.

### Keep your own SIM

Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.

### Help when you're there

The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.

## Tips for France

- Visiting Paris and then Italy or Spain? The Europe regional plan covers both on one eSIM, often for less than two separate plans.
- Museum, train and event tickets are mostly on your phone now: keep some data in reserve on the last days.
- In the Paris metro, signal is available in most stations and tunnels, but download your tickets before going underground.

## France eSIM questions

**Does it work in Corsica?**

Yes, the plan covers metropolitan France including Corsica. Overseas departments such as Guadeloupe or Réunion are not included.
**Can I use it in Monaco?**

Monaco is a separate country with its own network. Coverage there depends on the plan; the Europe plan's country list is on its page.
**When does the plan start?**

When the eSIM first connects to a network in France. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
**Is my phone compatible?**

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the [compatibility checker](https://veela.io/compatibility/) for common models.
**Can I top up?**

Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
