Any way to get the greyed out songs to play on the Andriod app?

Seemingly you can do it on the website by making the site think you are logging on from France.
 
AFAIK Deezer is pan europe and song licenses are restricted by country much like the problems of Spotify. I have no doubt you can use proxies to fix the issue but I never really could be bothered to sort it :) I believe that all Orange do is basically give you a <contract length> subscription to Deezer Premium with the added benefit of mobile access (this is a Premium+ feature which usually costs £10 a month) so I'd probably contact them with this issue if you want a fuller explanation.

This is a great chance to remind people on Orange with Swappables though, DO NOT IGNORE THIS. DEEZER IS COMPLETELY FREE AS IN BEER. Seriously, it's basically free Spotify Mobile (but with a slightly smaller song pool). You don't pay data costs, sub costs, anything. I have seen people crack through 8gb of data on this service and orange doesn't even care :)

Yep, don't get me wrong it is an excellent service and it's just the odd track that you can't actually get access to.

I actually haven't imported any of my own music on to my phone and have just downloaded what i wanted via Deezer over my home Wi-Fi connection.

Plus if you hear a song on the radio and want it then you can just add it as a favourite there and then and Deezer will download it for you.

Turns out the track I wanted can't be downloaded because it isn't out until the 15th. It doesn't tell you that in the Android app though.
 
Is the 3g data really free on this app?
Yes. I have no idea why this isn't made more obvious (apparently one of the top asked questions at the moment) but it is. Basically all data going to Deezer incurs no charge. I expect it's probably an internal traffic route via vpn to deezer itself in france or via cache server in the UK but either way, you don't pay to use the service in any way, shape or form.
