In Chamonix France, getting LTE on Bouygues. Not bad in the main town but wonder what it will be like on top of mountains.
The journey here took me through LHR and GVA.
I got the SMS notification for O2 in the UK and then Swisscom in Switzerland.
But as soon as the van I took crossed into France, no notification but it first connected to SFR. But no Internet, just PDP authentication failure.
Turned off auto network selection. Tried selecting Orange and it would not connect, no service. Tried several times.
Went back to SFR, again same PDP error message. Tried sending text to my Google Voice number. Nothing.
Finally manually selected Bouygues and the text came through and Internet worked.
Went to auto and it now selects Bouygues though still no welcome text.
In previous trip to Lyon and Paris, could never get it to connect to Orange.
Has anyone ever been able to use Orange in France?
