International SMS is Awful

[zx2c4]

Forgive me for the English post; I'm an American who just moved to France. When I heard about Free having unlimited everything, including unlimited international calls, I was overjoyed, and signed up immediately. It turns out, however, that I should have waited.

Free Mobile SMS is 0.20€ per message! This is exorbitantly high. B And You's recently announced plan offers FREE SMS TO ALL CARRIERS!

So, the only difference between Free and B-and-You's new plan is B-and-You offers free international SMS. Free Mobile charges 0.20€.

Should have gotten B-and-You.

Hi,

following this link, you'll have all prices to and from all countries. http://mobile.free.fr/docs/tarifs.pdf (in French...)

In this document, I understood that all vocal communications are free to USA (wired or not wired phones and only with the 15.99€ contract).

You're right, SMS are 0.19€.

But you could end you contract with Free in 10 days with a mail (with acknowledge).

Sorry to disappoint you but B&You anounced unlimited SMS to all french carrier in it's new plan.

B&You charges 0.30€ / SMS sent / recipient and does not allow MMS to foreign phone numbers.
