"Three" 'Feel at Home' a complete con

System

I am fully aware of the economics but Bouygues has big gaps in coverage. Without Orange (or SFR) 'to fill in the gaps' I would have had loads of deadspots in Paris and had to use wifi.

Free mobile is a new startup so it's coverage isn't particularly worth mentioning.

If it isn't cost effective for 3 to allow you to use your allowance on a foreign network then they aren't going to allow it. Maybe they couldn't strike a decent deal with SFR and the other networks

Free has primarily urban coverage - it relies on a domestic roaming agreement with Orange IIRC.

The OP will probably be outside coverage.

Having you tried to select an alternative network manually? Between Bouygues and Free.

Hi, thanks for suggestions re tethering (3 didn't mention this when I rang enquiring about 'Feel at Home', but I should have read the small print), I have tried manually connecting with no improvement and at present I have given up and turned the phone off, saves the disappointment!
