Lucky you. I'm in France and I got 50 Mo before starting to pay for my data. Granted, I'm using the old 5€ offering from Orange (called Sosh), because I'm not using a lot of data (no video, very few pictures, some text) and I'm too lazy to change. Also I'm not sure my phone can support another mobile network.

You need a phone that supports LTE for the Free contract, otherwise you only get 3 GB of data.

Oh I'm pretty sure my phone support LTE, but I'm saying that the phone might be locked to a provider (Orange) and will reject any SIM not from it. Since the phone is originally from a company which has an exclusive contract with Orange for all mobile hardware and subscriptions, it is not surprising.
