Seems like both offer 2 or 3 GB plans for about 20 Euro. These are on Orange and Boygues networks and are supposedly in response to the Free.fr mobile, which is only available on a contractual basis to those with French bank accounts.
These may not necessarily be available at retail. May have to have them mailed to a French address.
But if a visitor could make one of these work out, then France prepaid data becomes more competitive.
Sosh is contract only, so unless you have a French bank account and sign up for a monthly contract, that won't be an option. Same thing for B&You's plans with the exception of their new
prepaid card offer at 4.99€ for the SIM including 15 minutes, with recharges available in varying amounts. The downside with that is there's not much data offered, the SIM will be mailed to a French address, and I'm not sure whether a foreign credit card can be used for the online purchase.
