The Free plan is amazing. 25GB roaming outside of France, too.

EU law requires no roaming rates, so there places outside France (and in the EU) which would be covered by the 100GB a month rule.

If you are paying less than €3/GB (before VAT) they can apply a fair use roaming limit which is lower than your domestic limit Which is calculated from the EU cap of €6/GB - so 25GB is well above what they have to give you for that price.

Free was actually offering free roaming before it made it into EU law. Not much of an edge now, sure, but credit given where credit's due.

Only for 60 days a year, I think. So this might cover the other days?
