As the end of each year, Free has launched a private sale and offers a mobile plan at a very low price. This time, the offer is incredibly tempting. But some of the details are sometimes not obvious to understand. Don’t worry, we are here to answer any questions.
what package am I entitled for 2.99 euro per month ?
If one focuses on the details put forward by the Free, the package is more than attractive. This includes, among others, the following elements :
• unlimited Calls to mobiles in metropolitan France, Usa, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, China, French overseas departments and to landlines in metropolitan France and a hundred destinations
• unlimited SMS from France to metropolitan France and the DOM
• unlimited MMS France, metropolitan
• unlimited SMS from the Europe zone and the French overseas departments to the mobile operators French
To the Internet, the package offers each month, with 50 Gb connection 4G. But be careful, on a 3G network, this amount goes down to 20 Gb of monthly data. As for the smartphones that are not compatible with the 4G, it goes straight to 3 Gb with “only” per month.
But conflicting information has been provided by our sources, who claim that any 4G smartphone will be entitled to 50 Gb of data per month, even on the 3G masts.
This little detail is not to be overlooked, especially as the 4G network of Free is still in the process of deployment and therefore still imperfect. If you exceed your Internet plan, you pass on the reduced flow rate 128kbit/s — equivalent to the EDGE.
overseas, however, steps things up even more as we will see later in this article.
How long is the promotion ?
It is possible to subscribe to this offer until the 6th of December at 6 o’clock in the morning. The subscription to 2.99 euros per month last 12 months (a full year), and then will revert to its original price, i.e. € 19.99.
What are the eligibility criteria to take advantage of this package ?
The promotional offer of Free is obviously subject to conditions. First of all, it is necessary to have an account on the site Vente-privée.com. Then, this package is only available for people who have not received an offer from the operator on the Sale-private the last 13 months and which have not terminated after the 1st of October.
To take advantage of this package while retaining your number, you simply call the 3179.
This offer is without any commitment ?
We speak of Free. The offer is therefore necessarily no commitment.
What use do abroad ?
overseas, the details of the package become a little more complicated to understand. In fact, you have 35 days per year and per country for enjoy calls, SMS and unlimited MMS, as if you were in France. In other words, you can spend 35 days in Germany without paying any additional fees, and then another 35 in Portugal, always without spending a penny more, etc., See this as a counter reset to zero at each change of destination.
however, please Note that this offer only relates to the countries of the european Union, the United States (including Puerto Rico and the u.s. Virgin Islands), the overseas departments (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique = a destination ; and the island of Mayotte and Reunion = a destination), as well as Canada, Israel, Australia, Norway, Iceland and South Africa.
This becomes even more complex when one focuses on the Internet offer. In effect, you get 3 Gb of 3G connection per month which is valid for all foreign destinations mentioned above. That is to say that the meter is not, this time, not reset when changing countries.
But where you might be trapping, it is that, according to the FAQ of Free, only the first 3 Gb of connection monthly can be used abroad free of charge. This means that, for example, if you consume 1 Go before you travel, you will not be able to use more than 2 Gb once arrived at the destination.
In fact, to the question : “My volume of 3 Gb on 3G is there common to metropolitan France and to destinations included ? And for my volume of 20 Gb on 3G ? “, here is what responds to the operator :
Yes, the use of mobile Internet in a destination that is included is counted from the envelope global Internet the Free plan.
For example, if you use 1 Gb in France before your departure, you will have 2 Gb once at the destination, and vice versa. If you have 20 Gb, and that you use more than 3 in France, in the future there will be more in the context of use in a destination included.
However, saccording to our sources, the envelope of data abroad is independent of the envelope data in France. Thus, if you spend 10 Gb of data in France, you will always be 3 Gb of data abroad. In addition, after the publication of this article, readers, clients at Free, we have reported that the FAQ for the operator seemed not to have been updated by specifying thatthey had used without problem over 3 Gb abroad.
What is the quality of the network ?
according To the latest results of the ARCEP and ANFR, Free covers 73 % of the French population in 4G and 26 % of the national territory. As to the 3G, the operator covers more than 82 % of the population.
Our survey of our readers, conducted last summer, revealed that approximately one-third of them were dissatisfied with the proposed network by Free. Nevertheless, more than 98 % of the respondents had a positive opinion on the prices charged by the operator.
