    Hi there looking for a data sim for traveling in France.
    Anyone any recommendations??
    Don't want a contract obviously and don't need a phone number with it.
    Cheers
    Marty.

    Thanks a lot for that.
    I've 2 ordered for myself and herself.
    It didn't ask for country in form so I slipped Ireland onto the end of my address...
    Have requested the phones be unlocked from 3 network.
    So hopefully we will have them in time for trip...
    Might try get a wifi modem aswell.

    Data was a bit of a disaster sim came with bouygtel APN setting that don't work. Lebara gave APN settings that don't work eventually found correct setting on trip advisor. Its APN fr.lebara.mobi username: web password: web. Also data barely worked on two of our phones works OK on g300 and as expected on moto g eventually.

    Same feedback here on the prepaidzero Lebara cards.
    Got the 50 euro one too for hubby's ipad.

    Initially it worked, then stopped, he had to ring the crowd, but their number simply has a recorded message telling you to ... email them !

    Anyway, we did manage to email, and got it working on that Bouygues network, and it was extremely slow everywhere (we went all the way down South Nice then crossed to Italy and back up again).

    Won't get it again, it was double expense as we ended up getting wifi in a few campsites.
