FairyNuff Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 [quote user="Clair"]You pay €14.90 for the SIM card.You get €11.50 worth of credit.You pay 11x €1.50 (€16.50) to keep your credit and your number live for 12 months.Then you buy a €5 top-up to carry your existing credit over the 12 months.You carry on paying €1.50 per month...[/quote] We have LeClerc PAYG sim cards in old phones. Clair outlines the system above, but for us the E1.50 a month comes off our phone credit. They send you a text message to say it's happened, and we check the amount left by dialling 950. If needed we top-up the credit on-line, but use our French bank's Carte Bleu. Generally we keep the balance at between 10 and 15 euros. Hope this makes it a bit clearer.FairyNuff Forgot to say - The first E1.50 comes off a month after you register the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I know nothing about mobile phones, but I will be away from home (but in France) for a few weeks and so have been rather forced very unwillingly into this market.I am a VIRGIN !The interesting bit about their 20 euro PAYG recharge is that if you take the 'Very Long' option it lasts 3 months, with 200 SMS and 47 mins of callsI am not suggesting that this is the best deal, but for me who will be using it very little, but want to have my credit available as long as possible it was interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
