recharger votre compte sur le #123# - Assistance Orange

Vous avez un forfait bloqué (Zap, M6 mobile, compte rechargeable) ou une carte prépayée (mobicarte, M6 mobile, Click, Club) et vous souhaitez remettre du crédit sur votre compte.

WTF ? seems to be the same but not the same.... "compte rechargeable" are not actually an offer ("forfait") but an offer named for now "initial" permit to pay 7 euros per month and the top-up you include is valid forever AFAIK.

i think orange France mixed a lot somewhere ^^

I would like to know if they still have Internet Max option and for what price, I've tried to surf on thei site ut it seems to be impossible to find out, the page is blocking when I tried to open it.

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?!

wco81 · 08-02-2013, 00:22

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.

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.
