No, absolutely not. Although Benin is a French-speaking country, it is NOT part of the EU or any French domestic plan. Most home carriers (like Orange FR, T-Mobile US, or Vodafone UK) will charge you their highest "Rest of World" international roaming rates (e.g., $10-$15 per day). A Truly Roaming eSIM is a one-time prepaid fee that is significantly cheaper.
