Anonymous SIM Card Delivery
to France — No ID, No Registration

France requires SIM registration for all prepaid cards — a legal obligation that has been in force since 2015 under Article L. 34-3-1 of the Code des postes et des communications électroniques. Every SIM purchased from a French carrier (Orange, SFR, Bouygues, Free Mobile) requires a valid identity document: passport, national ID card, or residence permit. Registration is verified either in-store, by post, or online via secure identity verification platforms.

For visitors, digital nomads, and privacy-conscious users, this creates a genuine barrier: French mobile connectivity is tied to your legal identity. Simbotica ships a pre-activated, KYC-free physical SIM card to any address in France, with no identification required at any point.

What French Law Requires

French law requires operators to collect and store: full name, date of birth, nationality, and ID document number. This data is held by the carrier and accessible to French law enforcement under standard judicial process. The requirement applies to all prepaid SIMs regardless of data-only or voice+data plan type.

The practical effect for a foreign visitor buying a SIM at a French supermarket, phone shop, or airport kiosk: you hand over your passport or EU ID, your details are entered into the carrier's system, and a record of that number being associated with your identity is created and retained.

Shipping to France

Simbotica ships to all French departments, including overseas territories (DOM-TOM: Martinique, Guadeloupe, Guyane, Réunion, Mayotte). Delivery to metropolitan France takes 5–10 business days via international tracked post. Packaging is discreet — no product branding on the outer envelope. Delivery to Colissimo relay points (Relais Colis) and La Poste addresses is supported.

Network Coverage

In France, the SIM connects to the strongest available network in your location. France's main operators — Orange, SFR, Bouygues Télécom, and Free Mobile — collectively provide coverage across metropolitan France, including rural areas. Orange has the broadest rural coverage; Free Mobile is strongest in urban areas and offers competitive data speeds.

Use Cases for France

Tourists and short-stay visitors: Need a French number for verification on a French platform (banking, marketplace, accommodation booking) without surrendering passport details to a carrier.

Privacy-conscious French residents: Want a secondary number for classified ads (Leboncoin), dating platforms, or any context where you don't want your primary number linked to your activity.

AI agent developers building for French platforms: Your agent needs to verify on a French platform (Doctolib, BlaBlaCar, PriceMinister) that requires a French mobile number. Simbotica provides one without an account or identity requirement.

Journalists and researchers: Need a number not linked to your professional or personal identity for source communication or fieldwork contexts.
