Set up your HelloRoam eSIM the night before departure. Enable data on landing at CDG and Google Maps, the RATP Metro app, and Google Translate work immediately.
Paris Metro and RER: Citymapper is the best navigation app
Paris has an excellent Metro and RER network. Citymapper handles Paris transit beautifully and is far better than Google Maps for Metro navigation. The RATP app is also useful for real-time train times. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps both apps running from CDG Terminal 2E into the city.
French Riviera: Nice, Cannes, and Monaco
Nice, Cannes, and Monaco (the French Riviera) are popular with Singapore travellers for the Mediterranean lifestyle and beaches. Strong 4G and 5G throughout the Riviera coast. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport connections from Paris are easy with your HelloRoam eSIM active throughout.
Wine country: Bordeaux and Burgundy
Bordeaux and the Burgundy region are popular for Singapore wine lovers. Bordeaux city and the main Médoc château areas have good 4G. Smaller villages in wine country can have limited signal. Download offline maps of the wine routes before leaving Bordeaux.
Shopping in Paris: Galeries Lafayette and Le Marais
Paris shopping is a major draw for Singapore visitors. Galeries Lafayette on Boulevard Haussmann, the Marais district, and the Champs-Élysées are all well covered with 5G. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps currency conversion apps, Google Maps, and shopping apps running throughout.
Mobile networks in France: what Singapore visitors need to know

On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
