I have a french sim with free mobile, they give you 25 GB per montlh in a lot of countries all over the world, including the USA, for 20 euros (24 usd) per month, 4G download speed is excellent.
Coverage with free SMS and free calls too : https://assistance.free.fr/mobile/freeroaming/ https://assistance.free.fr/mobile/freeroaming/
After traveling for 4 years as a nomad, I will now buy 2 or 3 more sim like this because they work great and are cheaper than local sim without the hassle / paperwork
If a french friend can give you a free mobile sim, don't hesitate :)
- 627467 6y agoWhoa, does this mean that if I manage to get hold of a sim like this anywhere free has coverage I can effectively bypass local service packages? I understand that in many countries this kind of roaming still comes with bandwidth caps (ie. slower speeds than if you were using non-roaming sim) but it may still be a better option
- benhurmarcel 6y agoTechnically, if you use it mainly outside France, they can legally charge you roaming. It just happens that until now Free Mobile doesn't seem to control that.
- ttoinou 6y agoInteresting, so spending a few months per year in France avoids that theoretically ?
- benhurmarcel 6y agoI think the roaming law says that less than half the use must be roaming (not clear if it's time or data). That being said, if this operator doesn't check it, it's fine. But they could.
