Talk:France/@comment-209.222.54.121-20151231062644

I would just like to start by saying thanks to all the people that created this resource - it really has been very helpful with current and real world information on mobile packages.

My wife is French and every year we visit there for 2-3 weeks, it is a small town but according to Orange does have 4G coverage. According to Free it only has 3G but not 4G coverage

My need is to have only a data connection for computer access and VOIP, so the most data for the best price, after reading this page it seems that the best option in my case would be a Free 1 month 20Euro package, so i just was hoping to get some feedback on this or possible better alternatives. I purchased a Huawei E5372 Mobile hotspot that has the 4G 2600MHz band capability.

1) Am i correct that with the 4G hotspot and a Free SIM that i should get either 50GB on the 3G Free network or 20GB on 4G Orange? Since Free 3G and Orange 3G/4G seem available will it not connect to Free network or will it upswitch to the 4G Orange?

2) If I get a SIM from one of the Free vending machines with my non-French credit card for the 1 month prepaid plan - my understanding is there is no need to contact them after to close the contract?

3) If i need to get more data are there any options to add more data to the SIM or would i need to purchase another SIM?

As mentioned my need is Data only to use in a mifi (tethered) and to get as much data as possible. It would be nice to keep the SIM active for a future visit but it sometimes is more than a year between visits. I would be happy to hear of any alternatives to this plan

thanks / JJ
