data in France | orange's "Internet Max" (500MB for €9) works also on PCs -
08-09-2008, 22:56
Hello world,
Having returned from France today, where I used an orange prepaid SIM ("mobicarte"), I wanted to share my experience with you: Allthough the t&c's of orange state, that the "Internet Max" option (500MB of data for € 9, limited to 30 days) is valid for handset use only, you can use those 500MB from a computer, too. Even EDGE and HSDPA are enabled. However some ports seem to be blocked. Anyway the following protocols/ports are definitely opened: HTTP (port 80 and 8080) HTTPS (port 443) FTP (port 21) SMTP (port 25) POP3 (port 110) ICQ (port ?) So with virtually € 0,018/MB "Internet Max" is a really attractive tariff to get mobile internet during your stay in France. orange mobicartes are sold at ebay.fr for less than € 10 and credit can be purchased just everywhere throughout the country. regards, Inquisitor postpaid: O2 on Business XL; prepaid: DE: Aldi Talk, Lidl; UK: 3; BG: MTel, vivacom; RU: MTS; RS: MTS; UAE: du Tourist SIM; INT'L: toggle mobile VoIP: sipgate.de (German DID); sipgate.co.uk (British DID); ukddi.com (British DID); sipcall.ch (Swiss DID); megafon.bg (Bulgarian DID); InterVoip.com |
