Many thanks! I'll give it a try and bring as much ID as possible. Tom    

I am spending much of July and August in a farmhouse near St. Lo. I will need internet access and it seems the last one there burned down. I know a good one at Granville but that is further than i would ideally like to travel. Does anyonme know if the library in St Lo is worth a visit or if there is anywhere closer.   Many thanks,   Tom

A big thank you to Ian for explaining the benefits and nature of the ORANGE 7 euro a month contract. If I was there more often it would make sense. Will thank yopu very much for the 0044 website details. This looks like the answer in that I can top it up remotely from the UK and provided I top it up every 6 months I get to keep the number. This will match the 3 or 4 times a year I visit my Normandy home when I make regular use of my mobile phone. I can also access lower rates for incoming calls. Many thanks for your assistance. I would welcome the views of any existing users of the 0044 service before placing my order. Regards, Tom        

Thank you, I guess I'd rather not make a regular monthly commitment but could live with a Top Up of 20 Euros expiring provided the SIM and number did not expire. I'm sure that must be possible to arrange to purchase a PAYG sim at any Orange Shop? I take your point about future reductions in roaming charges. It is good advice not to spend too much when I might only use it for a year or so. Thanks again for your assistance. Tom        

Dear All, I have a house in rural Noirmandy that I stay at for aprroximately 8 weeks a year in total over 3 separate visits. I currently use my Vodafone mobile to receive and make calls while in France. This is very expensive - approximately £300 for the 8 weeks but don't want to install a landline. The only ntwork I can receive at the house is Orange. I know there is an opportunity to save money by using a Pay as you go Orange simcard to make and receive calls while in France - my mobile is unlocked. Can anyone advise me how best to go about this or refer me to a previous thread where this has been discussed before. Many thanks, Tom       

Thanks very much that was most useful. Regards,   Tom    

Can anyone tell me if there is a sandy beach at St. Jean- le-Thomas suitable for small children?  I have friends looking to book a holiday there. Many thank, Bocage Tom
