Hi Chris & Julie
I tried Free a couple of months ago as the deals are pretty good - unfortunately the 3G coverage in Montmorillon (rue Solferino ) and Briguil le chantre was non existent ( phone was ok) had to send a registered letter to cancel the SIM as they wouldn't accept by email or phone call!
We had good coverage on orange(expensive and unhelpful)
Am currently with Lyca - good coverage in Briguil & Montmorillon(wasn't originally everywhere in town but seems to have improved to cover most of Montmorillon now) doesn't get 3G in Lussac les Eglises
Their recharge website is in French or English - though they have, in my opinion, a very odd recharge system, which is not especially intuitive,but for those like myself, who struggle with reading call/internet plans in French, it can be useful.
For what it's worth, at our addresses as above Orange and SFR worked well Bouygues (& free) didn't. "Coverage" on their maps all showed it was supposed to be there but we only found out it wasn't by getting the SIM and testing it out.
Of course they seem to expand coverage often so things may have changed! Would love to hear if anybody finds a good mobile data that allows tethering (wireless hotspot sharing)
4G didn't seem available here yet but hopefully may soon?
Cheers Huw
