Which French number do you actually need?

Disponible. Yes, VSIM sells this.

Which apps get their code on a French number today?

Every app with a measured French rate has a bottle in the cellar, classed the French way. Grand cru delivers half or more of its codes, premier cru 20 to 49%, and vin de table under 20%, where another country usually serves you better. The label shows the measured price, not the cheapest one.

Is a French number cheap next to the rest of the world?

Take the Eiffel Tower lift. Each app’s cheapest French price is ranked against every country selling the same app: the parvis is the cheapest quarter of the world, the summit the dearest quarter. For 23 of these 29 apps France is at or below the middle price; 3 ride to the top tenth.

Same app, two French routes: which stamp gets your letter delivered?

19 apps are sold on two French routes from different number pools, like a letter sent with a green stamp or by registered post. The surprise is France’s cheaper route: for 26 apps it has no measured rate at all, and the measured route costs about 2.3× more. Ten letters per route show how many arrive. VSIM’s order page sends yours on the better route by default.

How have French numbers done in our own orders since 2024?

France has a famous guide that awards restaurants up to three stars. This is our own guide to French numbers, 31 May 2024 to 11 October 2026: each app earns stars for the share of its orders that got a code. Three stars from 60%, two from 30%, one from 10%.

What does a French mobile number look like?

Ten digits with the leading 0 at home, 06 12 34 56 78, and nine after the country code from abroad, +33 6 12 34 56 78. The Minitel, France’s screen-and-keyboard terminal of the 1980s, was switched off in June 2012; this one reads numbers.

01 is Paris and Île-de-France, then 02 northwest, 03 northeast, 04 southeast and 05 southwest. Numbers keep their prefix when they move between operators.

What can a rented French number not open?

The gilded gates of Versailles open only for those with the right papers. A one-code number, which goes back to the pool after 20 minutes, has no papers for these six. Pick a gate to read why, and what to use instead.

FranceConnect and La Poste ID

How do you get a French number and receive the code?

A Paris building has four kinds of floor, from the shop at street level to the rooms under the zinc roof, and your order climbs four steps the same way: about two minutes in all, then the wait for the SMS. Tap a floor.

Which mistakes cost people their code?

French schoolchildren grow up with the dictée, corrected in red ink. Four corrections here, for four mistakes that cost people a code. The first is measured across 13,062 one-time orders.

  1. I retry the same route straight away.Try the other route.

    After a failed order, buying again on the same route got a code 13% of the time (4,435 retries). Switching to the other route for the same country got 21%. Most people retried fast: 5,565 of 8,105 retries came within two minutes.

What else do people ask about French virtual numbers?

What is a French virtual number for SMS verification?

A real French +33 mobile number you rent on VSIM for one SMS code, with no SIM card, no contract and no ID. You type it into the app, read the code on your order page, and the number is yours for up to 20 minutes. If no code arrives in that time, the full price goes back to your balance.

How much does a French virtual number cost?

Today French numbers cost from $0.07 to $4.80 across 213 apps, and half of them cost $0.29 or less. Look past the first price: for 26 apps the cheapest French route has no measured rate yet, and the measured route costs more. You pay once per number and keep money only for a delivered code.

Which apps work best with a French number?

Right now Nike (88%), Twitch (87%), Yemeksepeti (86%), Naver (86%), Bolt (81%). 11 of the 38 apps with a measured French rate deliver at least half their codes. The cellar on this page holds every one, refreshed every 15 minutes.

Is a French number good for Google or Gmail?

Yes, on the right route. The measured French Google route delivers 52% for $0.72, No. 6 of 71 countries. A cheaper Google route at $0.31 has no measured rate yet, so it is a refund-backed gamble.

Can I use a French number for WhatsApp?

It is an expensive try. WhatsApp sells for $4.80 on French numbers with no measured rate today. That is No. 117 of 121 countries by price, cheapest first. Indonesia delivers 41% for $1.50.

Why is Telegram so expensive on French numbers?

Prices follow what each route costs us, and French Telegram routes are scarce: $4.00 today, No. 108 of 112 countries by price, against a middle price of $1.00. Only 9% of recent French Telegram orders got the code. Lithuania delivers 58% for $0.93.

Why does the same app have two prices for France?

Some apps are sold on two French routes from different number pools, and they deliver very differently. In France the cheaper route is often the one with no measured rate. The order page picks the better-delivering route by default; the two stamps on this page show both for 19 apps.

How do I type a French number into an app?

Pick France, +33, in the app’s country list, then type the number without its leading 0: a number written 06 12 34 56 78 at home becomes +33 6 12 34 56 78. That is nine digits after +33, starting with 6 or 7.

What do French phone numbers starting with 06, 07 or 09 mean?

06 and 07 are mobile numbers. 01 to 05 are landlines by region, 01 for Paris and Île-de-France up to 05 for the southwest. 09 numbers are non-geographic, often internet phone lines. The Minitel on this page reads any number in your browser.

Can I use a French virtual number for FranceConnect or my bank?

No. L’Identité Numérique La Poste, one way into FranceConnect, asks for a French ID card, passport or long residence permit and a mobile number from a French operator, and banks send a code to the number on your account each time you log in or pay. A rented number is gone after one code.

Do I need ID to get a French number on VSIM?

No. Since 2017 French shops sell a prepaid SIM only against an identity document. A VSIM number is rented for one code and is not a SIM card, so no document is asked for.

Is France better than Spain or Italy for SMS codes?

It depends on the app. Counting apps that deliver at least half their codes today: England 30, Poland 26, Portugal 19, Netherlands 15, Spain 13, France 11. The pétanque pitch on this page throws ten countries app by app.

What happens if the code never arrives?

The order closes when its timer runs out, at most 20 minutes, and the full price goes back to your balance. You can cancel earlier. A missed code costs you time, not money.

Can I keep a French number after the code?

No. A one-code number is yours for up to 20 minutes. If you need codes on the same number again, VSIM sells permanent numbers in the United States.

Merci et à bientôt !
