bad customer service, usage is not reported
bad customer service, answer late and gives no details about the usage. As a client I cannot get a monthly report of your usage. I had more than €20 toped and the deposit is gone because of using data in foreign countries. But I always use another SIM. This cannot be in my opinion.

Dear Marc Andres,
You can actually check your current balance directly on your LFM account or by texting BAL to 22213. As LeFrenchMobile is a prepaid service, detailed daily usage from your SIM card can't be available on an "invoice" like for postpaid services. However, you can ponctually request your detailed usage for a short given period by email to our Customer Service at anytime:
customerservice@lefrenchmobile.com
Kind regards,

Non-application of bank payment to my phone lost you the 5th Star
Usually very easy to "top-"up" my mobile account but the time before last there was a problem with the payment by debit card from my French Bank being credited to my account so I paid a 2nd time using a UK visa card. The €20 was taken from my bank account but never applied to my phone nor was I able to get an answer from LeFrench Mobile

Absolute stellar&brilliant service
Absolute stellar&brilliant service! I normally do not review as most companies provide such a bad&poor service/standards/and customer service etc. As an economist as well as Mentor&Consultant&Coach for international Start-Ups in every industry sector&a 30 years expertise, I do have high expectations, as for me running a successful and thriving business is solely based on excellent service in every way. LeFrenchMobile excells it in every way. 5-stars from me!

I have tried to contact le french mobile and have left 3 messages. No response. I have topped up my account, but, it is saying I have no credit. Despite phoning 501 and knowing there is over 40€ available to me. Please fix this blip as it's very frustrating for me.

We regret to hear that you did not receive your SIM card yet. All orders are shipped within 24 hours. Local posts and delivery companies we work with usually deliver on time but maybe a punctual/exceptional event had caused that situation.
Our customer service is going to contact you within 24H to confirm your delivery address in order to send you a new SIM card (with no extra fee of course).

Tech support lacking
I would have given LeFrenchMobile more stars but I have found their tech support once I am in the country not to be very helpful. Their support has often been offline during business hours, which is not very professional. I hope that when I go back to France this summer this problem will be corrected.

Very good to begin with however there were problems later!
This seemed an excellent option for me to begin with... however, since obtaining my French mobile phone number I receive very frequent marketing phone calls which persist no matter how many are barred. The reason for obtaining the French mobile number was specifically in order for calls from my son's school or the doctor to contact me on. It was reserved as an emergency number. However the 3 times that these contacts have tried to get in touch, they could not get through (they told me that the number was not in use), and their phone call was not even registered on the phone to inform me that they had tried to call. I also asked LFM customer service, if they could set the voicemail to leave a message in French but this was not possible!

Dear lucy,
We understand your frustration in receiving frequent sales calls. All numbers are "recycled" by all operators several years after the phone number has been terminated/cancelled by previous operator. If you see that this situation happens too often with your line, we will exceptionnally check if we can change your phone number. To do that, do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service directly to request it:
customerservice@lefrenchmobile.com
We regret also to hear that you encountered technical issues and could not receive calls. Our telecom partner in France is Orange and you benefit from the same coverage as local users. So if this situation still persists, please contact our Customer Service team so that this can be investigated :

Never use this service
Never use this service. Customer service is appalling. They never actually phone you, never say sorry. And you can’t even send an MMS. I have already changed to to Orange. Much better service and there is an actual person to talk to.

Would give zero stars if I could. SIM never received. Emails but answered. After a month I raised a query with PayPal and got my money back. Used a competitor on Amazon and they were cheaper too. Avoid.

No after sales customer service
I received the SIM card and set up was fine - however now the SIM card is locked, I don’t know why or how to unlock it - I have emailed twice with no reply and I’ve sent a further 2 emails today - I’m very disappointed by the lack of customer service- I see from other reviews that I’m not the only one…
I see that there is a telephone number but it’s expensive to call from my UK landline or mobile and I can’t do it from my French mobile as it’s locked!
