Internet access in France

I do the same but using "Thrèe Mobile" and a monthly subscription. It is only in the last year "Three" has allowed this. Prior to this I used a miFi

 I use the MiFi unit from EE on a monthly contract. It has served well in France and Spain where campsite Wi-Fi can be poor to non existent.

No idea but I purchased a 24gb 12 month EE sim for £50 from Argos a couple of weeks ago.

I get 5gb a month on my Vodafone mobile phone plan....60gb a year.

at home, I use less than a gig per month (as browsing at home is mainly done on a wifi fed iPad) but the 5gb per month is just about right to service our two iPads while away...UK or abroad.....it works just the same and no roaming charges now.

of course, a free site wifi service will eke this out, but we are happy to rely on the phone if reqd. as above, 3G is very widely available and can't remember not being able to connect, even on Aires etc...

so, no extra gadgets or contracts, just one contract (£13 per month) no extra charges and drives two iPads and the phone nicely.

I reckon that if we used mifi for all our 120 nights away we would need just over 40gb. But each month would need just over 10gb. 

Asda payg is plenty for our limited phone needs

Last time we went was in the last month of the old system, so took our 3 MiFi with 7 gig, which was fine for a month. Next time we go I will probably just use our two iPhones. (O2 & EE) They have 6 gig between them, which along with occasional site Wifi should be ample.

I wonder if BREXIT will have any impact on free-roaming, and therefore using a local (ie French, Spanish etc) SIM would then become better. This of course may be dependant on whether one’s mifi or phone is SIM specific or unlocked?
