It's still there... And it's still EUR9.

Nice to see that! Thx Vlad!

So the main fine print is that they may throttle you after 500 MB?

Has anyone actually tested this threshold? Like use it with a Mifi feeding a laptop, which would eat data faster than a phone or a tablet?

Slightly off topic, but why bother using Orange's very restrictive Internet Max in a MiFi, when for you can get an SFR data card with 3 days worth of unlimited usage for EUR10?!

Well I've used the SFR before but I paid $21 through Holidayphone.com. I guess I paid a premium for them preactivating them and shipping them out to me in the US before I arrive in France.

I was just curious if the Orange product was comparable. I was under the impression that Orange has a better network.

u right ;)

Bad news: Internet Max seems to gone
 

I was just checking the Orange website and it appears that the Internet Max monthly option for 9 Euro is gone. They now show only a daily option at 2 Euro. I may need to get a different card for my upcoming trip.

Yes, I'm also seeing that it is no longer there in my suivi conso>mes options>mes bons plans. I see two daily options, 10MB per day for 0.9 euros per day, or 50MB per day for 2 euros per day. 6 euro per month email option is still available. The link that VladS posted a few posts ago no longer shows Internet Max.

Will be interesting to see if the Internet Max reappears or if it's gone for good. Victim of its own success I guess.

So, what's the best data card now?
 

So, assuming that the Internet Max option is gone for good, what's the best sim card to get now for data? I'm going to be traveling in France next month for about 15 days and I was counting on using the Orange sim. I'm wondering if there's another sim card with a better data option.

Ideas?

Woody1, suggest you check your Orange account. If you had Internet Max previously and never de-activated it (other than running out of credit) it will still be in your list of currently subscribed "mes bons plans". I can see it there in mine.

It looks like they may have removed it from general sale - if you don't currently have it you probably can't select it, but if you are an existing customer it may start working again when you put enough credit into the account.

I also get presented with another option called "recharge max". If I am reading the French right it is 30 euros for one month giving you unlimited calls and SMS within France plus 300MB of data. Only catch is it requires an online credit card purchase which I am sure will fail if the card is not French.
