DZ Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 HiI wonder if anyone can advise me. A friend from the US will be going to Paris in the summer and on the day of her arrival she'll meet up with her 9-year old son who be flying back from another country (visiting his father). She would like the boy (and the airline) to be able to reach her by phone and asked me if her US mobile would work in France. I think the type of phone she has should work in Europe but of course it would be prohibitively expensive to use her US number. I suggested that she buy a French simcard when she gets to Paris but she is arriving on the same day as her son and would like him to have the number in advance, before he boards his flight. Perhaps there are some cheaper/easier solutions, for example, I seem to remember adverts for some transnational simcards but I've never paid proper attention to the details so can't remember. Can anyone suggest anything useful for this friend of mine?Thanks a lot in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanary Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 There is an advert regularly in the Living France magazine for French sim cards to fit other phones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Can you not buy a SIM card for her and post it to her? Even if its a short duration card it won't begin 'counting down' until its activated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
