For what it is worth, when I am in France I have a mobile phone, Orange,
and I get refills at a TABAC. They issue paper tickers which have the
number printed on them.

I checked http://www.sfr.com/en/index.jsp and I get the impression
that I can
buy a "chip" (prepaid card) for my Nokia 6610 which I purchased in
Italy in 2002. I use the Wind service and have an Italy number.
Am I correct in assuming that the French "chip" will give me a French
number?

Hello all,
I will be travelling to France at the end of the week and have a question
regarding "pre-paid" cards for mobile phones.
In Australia I can purchase a "Red" Vodafone card which is pre paid and


can


be toped up allowing me to either make or receive national or


international


calls.

Is this the case in France? I have tried their website, but alas it's in
French LOL, funny that.

Anyway I have a "unlocked phone" and will be using the phone very little.
I am not keen on using Global roaming with my own carrier as a friend
recently returned from France having done the same thing and had many
problems.

Thanks In advance

Paul
