Thanks Betsy for the company and for blogging this trip!

I can try…

Yes, your phone needs to be compatible with VoLTE or it won’t work with Freedom. You can check if it is on the Freedom website, I believe.

Different plans have different allocations of Roam Beyond data. Some have none at all. Some only have a one-time allocation. And some have monthly. I signed up at Christmas and got a $35/month plan with 70 GB in Canada/US/Mexico, and 10 GB per month of ‘Roam Beyond’ in lots of other countries. So far, it’s been great.

The plans seem to be constantly changing. And there are lots of limited time offers.

Hi Betsy, based on your comments I looked at Freedom Mobile. They seemed to mention a one time only allocation of 5 gB, and there was a bunch of mumbo jumbo about your phone needing to be VoLTE compatible: "VoLTE Roaming is required to use data, messaging, and voice services, including calls to emergency services in some roaming destinations." They also did mention 10 gB in one spot: "Your line is subject to a $30 fee if you change to another plan within 3 months of activating on, or migrating to a Roam Beyond 10GB and up plan. For 30-day Roam Beyond pass options, visit My Account."

Roam Beyond pass options? VoLTE? this is not seeming totally transparent to me. Can you clarify?

As it turned out, we encountered zero lines and probably would have been fine on a later flight. We’ll never know. 🤷‍♀️

And not quite so impressively endowed.

Probably a wise move taking an earlier flight to allow more time at CDG. Transfers at that airport have always turned into a disaster show for us, such that we will try almost anything now to avoid it altogether.

Ironically, this “evidence” will be my un-doing when we leave here for our own bike trip in a few days. Why? I clean off the crow stuff daily on the sidewalks and wall around my house ( which is on a corner). If it isn’t cleaned up, “regulars” will figure it out….Busted! 🫣

Lots of people for sure, but it always looks busier when the crowd is funneled through a narrow street.
