France-specific troubleshooting
Things that can go wrong in France.
- TGV tunnels through the Alps have no service on any carrier — this is expected.
- Paris Metro is mostly underground without signal. Station platforms have Wi-Fi on most lines.
- If Orange signal drops in rural Massif Central, airplane-mode-toggle forces a reconnect.
