Pour activer la carte eSIM de Revolut en passant la frontière :

What to do at the border

  1. Turn ON the Revolut eSIM line.
  2. Settings → Cellular / Mobile Data → Cellular Data: choose Revolut (so all data goes through it).
  3. Settings → Cellular → Revolut → Data Roaming: ON (travel eSIMs commonly need this).
  4. Settings → Cellular → Salt → Data Roaming: OFF (prevents accidental Swiss-roaming data charges).
  5. Turn OFF “Allow Cellular Data Switching” (so the iPhone won’t silently use Salt for data if it thinks coverage is “better”).

Calls while you’re in France

  • If you keep Salt active for voice, calls will be roaming (even if data is on Revolut).

  • If you expect even a handful of “normal” calls (restaurants, hotel), Salt has an add-on Talk EUROPE (CHF 4.95/month) that drops roaming call charges in Europe to CHF 0.20/min, and you can activate it by texting START TALKEUROPE to 5155 (and stop with STOP TALKEUROPE).
    If you don’t activate it, roaming call charges can be much higher.

  1. Quick sanity check (recommended)
  2. After you cross: open Safari and check that the “Cellular Data” line shown in Settings → Cellular is Revolut, then load a page. If it works, you’re done.
