bouyges telecom cle 3G internet sans engagement

[rowland]

Just retired so spending our first long visit to house. Didn't want expense or bother of getting landline for short periods so decided to get a Cle 3G for internet access to use laptop. We are in an area where we cannot receive TV without a satellite dish so was bit apprehensive about reception. Have to report that although we are not in 3G range we can receive reception through Edge. Speed is quite quick and we have enough for what we need. It is a bit expensive (20 hours costs 25 euros) but top ups last 60 days and the Cle remains active for a year from your last top up. Had a bit of a problem registering our details initially but very helpful lady at the shop telephoned someone and got it sorted remotely.

E-mailing everyone we know at the moment as we have four days unlimited access free.

Bon soiree

Hi Rowland,

How did you buy the key? I had lots of problems last Summer with not having a french bank account. I ended up just using roaming, but that ended up expensive.

Any tips for buying a key?

Regards,

Harry

You know that you can get a FT landline connected and only pay for the times you are there, plus your calls of course. We do this.You instruct FT to turn your phone on before you go and to turn it off as you leave.

Harry - you can pick up 3G dongles in any Bouygues, Orange or SFR shop - in fact most of the big supermarkets have them as well. Or - just order one on-line. However, you may find it much cheaper to have one with a subscription as the PAYG versions are incredibly expensive as they are time based rather than download quantity.
