Re: 3g Pay as you go telephone provider
Hi Brian,
You can get PAYG from Orange; SFR; Bouygues and Free as well as major supermarkets like Auchan and Carrefour. Why don't you have a look at the respective websites. I don't know what you mean by reliable but these are the major providers. PAYG is time-limited in France e.g. €15 for 1 month for a certain amount of calls and texts. Internet access would be extra although wifi is available in some restaurants and hotels. You need a French address to buy a SIMM but you can give a friends address or a hotel address or simply make up an address - but I am not sure if you need proof of address. An American friend of mine just talked the shop staff into selling him a SIMM and he left France before his SIMM was deactivated. Good luck |

On a recent trip to France I bought an SFR SIM for 15 Euros (from a stand in the entrance to the Carrefour in Soyoux, Angouleme) which only needs topping up once every 6 months. I had to give a French address - gave my hotel and shoed my UK driving license card as proof of ID. Hope this info helps

The following is from the SFR site: Recharge 5€ valable 1 semaine Recharge 10€ valable 2 semaines Recharge 15€ valable 1 mois Recharge 25€ valable 2 mois (+5€ offerts) Recharge 35€ valable 3 mois (+10€ offerts) Recharge 65€ valable 4 mois (+20€ offerts) Recharge 95€ valable 5 mois (+45€ offerts) I am not aware of other SFR SIMMs that are PAYG that does not have an expiry date as above. You can get their RED subscription at €5 per month ongoing. |

Have a look at Lycamobile
They have an English site and an English help line which can be very useful. |
