How do others with réglo get on with internet reception ? It’s pretty good in France, although not marvelous. In the UK it was fair to middling, in Italy non-existant, although the mobile signal strength was good. I complained to réglo about it, but they said they had no influence and it depends on the Italian partner network. It was also very bad in Germany.
Do others have anything better at a similar price?
I get free calls from France to landlines and mobiles in mainland Europe, the UK and many other countries and have done since I moved here. I pay about €9 per month. RED by SFR. Now, if I go to one of those other countries and try to phone France, I get charged, which is the exact opposite.
Surprising unless your deal is very old and you’ve kept it going.
It was EU legislation that harmonised so all EU (& at the time, UK) operators had to offer free roaming. ie same terms on your contract (eg costs) when using SIM in another EU country or UK. Though a lot of UK providers have stopped doing it, or introduced harsher terms or higher costs for UK customers since Brexit.
Dialing from home country to another country even EU wasn’t covered by that new compulsory legislation. So if you have international calls from France included on a French SIM it would be done by some other arrangement offered by the operator - either including for it (much, much rarer than before) or selling you a bundle that covers it (or TV packages that include telephony also might).
So since, I forget when this came in, around May 2018? operators have to let you have same terms as at home when travelling in EU. No choice. European operators, for now, largely still seem to voluntarily be treating UK same as Europe for this.
SFR used to be owned by Vodafone who used to have these sorts of inclusions more than most other operators over the years so perhaps there’s some sort of legacy from that.
No real complaints about internet reception for us in Normandy…We don’t have WiFi and rely totally on our réglo sims for access to the internet. Bar occasional times when there is maintenance of nearby phone masts, access is fine. Ditto regarding ease of access in the UK when roaming.
Its probably area specific, I remember asking in an SFR shop if I could receive a decent signal in my village, they lied, I walked the entire village with my laptop, nothing. With Reglo I get a resonable connection which occassionaly jumps to one aerial or another so says freefrance or EE but generally ots good and reliable, I stream music and films mostly without issue.
I could only get a signal randomly walking about outside. It was only a problem when we had a power cut, trying to contact services.Since banks now require two authentication codes for online purchases, I had/needed to change, for a more reliable reception. I am trying Sosh, free for six months, just to receive messages.I rarely use the mobile for making and receiving calls.When I chose Orange, 8/9 years ago it was 25ish euro now about 39 euros a month, for internet and fixed line calls, which is down to one regular one to UK

I’ve no idea if the code they send has characters as well as/or numbers in, but maybe they need you to use upper & lower case letters exactly as sent to you.
