Rtony Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have a UK phone that's locked to the Orange (pay as you go) network. I've been led to believe that a french Orange pay as you go simcard is available, does anybody know if this is true and if it would work in my phone?Thanks,Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Pay-as-you-go SIM cards are indeed available in France (and French SIM cards in Britain from www.0044.co.uk etc). However, they will not work in a phone that is locked to a UK network - not even Orange to Orange. Your best bet would probably be to have your phone unlocked - see the link above for details. Then you can consider other networks, such as NRJ in France, about the only one where top-ups do not have to be used up within a fairly short period.

Rtony Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Thanks Will. I've had the phone unlocked, now I'll have a look on Ebay France for an NRJ simcard. Do you know the phrase for 'pre-activated pay as you go'?Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
