    Hello,

    Which ISPs are you talking about?

    Go to the websites of these ISPs to see what they offer (data volume, call duration, etc.).

    But don't fool yourself: with such cheap plans, you’ll have minimum service with probably a ridiculous data allowance that makes using the Internet impossible. Only telephony remains, with a limited total connection time.

    What is well conceived is clearly expressed, and the words to say it come easily.

      Actually, it’s just to attract the customer; on their site you don’t find this offer, or they inflate the SIM card price. I think I’ll pass!

        Not all ISPs offer the same things... Be precise and say clearly which ISP it is.

        You need to go read the plans offered on the site in question.. Generally what is written is true

        There may also be a duration for this promo... and that you went to look too late..??

        Here is a concrete example:

        Calls, SMS/MMS unlimited up to 30-08-26 for €1.99 / month (no contract)

        1GB of internet... 4G connection

        The SIM card price remains unknown on the site... this SIM is paid only once.

        Free has this subscription at €2 ... but limited to 2 hours of talk time per month.

    Hello,

    No confusion... 2€ is the subscription of ???? with this ISP.

    1€ is the fabrication of the SIM card

    Beyond the plan, it’s charged.

    You need to read the ISP’s site and understand everything..!!

      Hello,

      A number of operators offer these 2€ plans with a phone/SMS unlimited to France, mainly metropolitan, often with a monthly limit on the number of SMS recipients and a data plan of 1 GB.

      That can be enough for someone who only makes calls, or even someone who uses data but only on Wi-Fi at home via their box.

      You have to be sure of what you’re doing, aside from a host of MVNOs more or less reliable, real operators offer a slightly less restrictive forfait when you’re traveling and mainly making calls, sending SMS, doing a bit of web searching and occasional data uses for a difference that isn’t huge (for example I pay a RED by SFR plan at 5.98€ to remember 10 GB).

      The purchase of the SIM card isn’t really a factor unless you change operator like a shirt; it’s worth noting that some operators, since the subscription is only profitable in the long run, try to prevent this by charging early termination fees.

    Thanks for your responses. It’s Free who offers the internet plan; I can connect my box, so I just need to know who does what to choose? Thanks

      We don’t know what phone plan you currently have, but if you are a Free Internet subscriber and you’re at least looking into all the questions you’re asking, the €2 plan becomes €0 with the “Booster” 1 GB and unlimited calls, which can make it more acceptable, except I suppose SIM card.

      It is increasingly incomprehensible. If your choice is Free, why not; whatever plan you choose obviously cannot be used on two phones at once, but I don’t see how the plan in question, whose link in <7> is “unfindable,” and I don’t know if the SIM card is only €1 because that is your prerogative; perhaps this possibility doesn’t exist, I haven’t checked. But even if it cost €10, it wouldn’t be, as I illustrated, a big hurdle for a plan kept, say, for a year and even less so if you are a Free Internet subscriber, since this cost would be reimbursed over the first five months at €2 that you don’t pay.

      If you had explained things clearly from the start, no one would have wasted time answering off-topic.

      To sum up,

      1) At Free, there is no multi-SIM. So if you request a second SIM card, there will be a new phone number.

      2) The discount related to the use of a Freebox can apply to the second SIM card, provided it is an unlimited plan. In other words, for €2 plans, the discount only applies once.

      See this page.
