Hi Jan. You are right. I'd like to tone down the Free offer all the time, but some users like to hype it for their lots of GBs.....

1.) True. You are a 2nd class Orange roamer compared to original Orange. This is said in the article when stressed that roaming is on Orange's 3G, not 4G/LTE network. Orange has (one of the) best LTE network(s) in France while Free is lagging behind (according to latest Arcep figures). Again, Free roams on Orange's 3G only, not 4G/LTE.

2.) 3 GB instead of 50 GB. This can be true too, if you have a 3G-only device, a 4G device that doesn't work on 2600 MHz or a rare device that can't identfied by their IMEI to be compatible. The 50 GB for roaming are officially not granted by Free (only 20 GB), but some users made the observation. So this is unofficial. And with some devices it's only 3 GB instead. But it's all in the article.

Generally, if you were granted only 3 GB last year and you are using the same device again at the same location, i'd suggest that you only get 3 GB this year again.
