rowland Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 We are thinking of buying an IPad with wifi plus 3G on a pay as you go tariff. The assistant in the shop said that we would be able to buy a french SIM card to use while we are in France. I have done a search but can only find monthly contracts and no pay as you go. Does anyone know of any company that sells them on PAYG terms.We have a 3G dongle from Bouyges Telecom for the laptop but I can't find a SIM on their site.Thanks in advance for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefluvvie Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi rowland - not sure where you've been looking (?) but I think you'll find most of (not all) the major operators in France offer a PAYG SIM card - you just need to check you have the necessary coverage wherever you'll be - here's a few links....http://www.virginmobile.fr/nos-offres/cartes-prepayees.htmhttps://www.b-and-you.fr/carte-prepayee/http://www.sfr.fr/mobile/sfr-la-carte.jspe#sfrintid=V_nav_mob_offre-lca&sfrclicid=V_nav_mob_offre-lcahttp://boutique.orange.fr/ESHOP_mx_ft/?tp=F&ref=1448&IDCible=1&type=4&WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=100001178&gclid=CN7ikJjm5bQCFQRKpgod0UQA7QVERY expensive way of doing things though - you may want to consider a monthly package - plenty of them out there without contract.But - you could always use the Bouygues SIM you already have in your dongle (or ask them for a mini SIM).Chiefluvvie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowland Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks for the reply and all the links - being a technological dumbo I thought a tablet would need a special SIM card so it is not surprising that I couldn't find what I was looking for.Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefluvvie Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 You're welcome Rowland - I think most tablets use Micro SIM cards - I have a Freemobile one in mine.You'll find most of the operators provide both types (standard and micro) of SIM cardChiefluvvie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
