Hey Derek,

The only French operator that applies EU-like roaming policy to Switzerland (calls, texts and data) is Orange and their engagement-free subsection Sosh. Like many other French operators, Sosh do regular offers, usually running for a year and you can cancel/change any time.

At the moment Sosh do a 4,99€ per month offer (valid until 12 June) and you will get free calls, texts and 20 gigs of monthly data allowance with it.

You can see more on their site:

Good luck!

Hello, "The only French operator that applies EU-like roaming policy to Switzerland (calls, texts and data) is Orange and their engagement-free subsection Sosh"

Not the only one, SFR at least with the engagement free RED for 20 EUR/month has done something by including Switzerland for SMS, calls (in and outbound), and part of data.

Yes, I have just checked and SFR indeed include Switzerland in their 20€ per month plan, but this is recent and gives you a 10 gigs of data per month. Sosh (Orange) offer you 20 gigs for 4,99€ per month for a year. After one year it will automatically migrate to 19,99 per month, unless cancelled. So Orange still offer more data, a better mobile network (Orange is No 1 in France) and better price with the offer.

thanks Slava and David, that sounds just like what i'm looking for. I wasn't familiar with the contract free contract and it sounds like a good deal for cross border mobile usage for a fiver each month. So i'll get around to an orange shop and ask about the sosh deal you suggested Slava. nice one.. ! merci bien and i wish you both a delightful weekend.. ! :) Derek

If you're happy to go with Sosh, you may use this referral link allowing us to both get 1 month free: https://parrainage.sosh.fr/filleul?hash=7579f566b504d73a4bf4417e3f2954018d8bd5d9261a42de659f005a40023262&utm_medium=copiercoller&utm_source=DMD&utm_campaign=fil-rouge_fr_sosh_mob_par_eml_crm_dmd_tf_parrainage-Invitation-Copiercoller

(this can be cumulated with the current promotion offer of 20 GO for 4.99 € / month on the first year)

Merci David :) I just started learning French so i'll check out the details on monday when I'll have some assistance navigating en ligne en français. I'll let you know then, have a good one.. !

The Sosh offer is great indeed, but you may not be able to subscribe to it at a regular Orange shop, as Sosh is effectively Orange’s online sub-brand.

You might be better off sitting down in front of a computer with your nearest French-speaking friend and filling up the subscription fields together. It’s quite straightforward, just make sure you have your French IBAN and card at hand.
