It does extend. Whenever they mention DOM in their materials it means French overseas territories.

We used 3 from the UK while in the Mediterranean. We payed for the 100GB per month plan but only found out that when roaming that gets cut down to 19GB per month and you can only use the plan for 4 months while outside the UK.

Always read the fine print, which they hide very well.

I found the same true with TIM from Italy. Allowable data outside of Italy was much less than when inside Italy.

There's roaming within EU.

Re: Mobile Phone Plans

A ridiculously cheap plan in Denmark:

Data just gets cheaper and cheaper in Northern Europe.


300GB for DKK 149 or $21.67. That's like 7 cents a gig? And people are paying $10 with Google Fi.


Plus you get 300 hours (!) of international calls included in the price.


This is a 100mbs LTE connection, up and down. So you can stream Netflix or do whatever you want to with it.


I have a free municipal Wifi connection in the little Danish fishing harbor I'm in -- it's fairly decent at 20 to 30 mbs, quite adequate for Netflix or heavy duty videoconferencing. So I won't use much of those 300GB if I stay here.
