"...are all the computer/tv/internet points and connecters the same as in the UK?"No. French ones are quite different, however you can buy replacement leads for phones, modems and computers, also ADSL filters in the supermarkets. ".....can one bring a computer to France?"Well, yes... But I suspect you mean will it work here. Yes. See Internet FAQ's at the top of this section. "....I know a TV is notpossible"It is with a Sky box and a scart lead : again see FAQ TV at the top of the section.There isn't any one golden ISP deal; if there was we'd all be using it. It depends on what elements are important to you, and what is technically available to you in your area.France Telecom has an English-speaking helpline apparently andI've no doubt somone reading this will be able to post a link for it.As for phone message function, FT offers (free) an equivalent of 1471 which is 3103.Hope some of this helps.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
