mmaddock Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 One of my regular suppliers sent me an e-mail with details of their new SIM card service - certainly worth a look for those of us in France - either permanently or coming for regular short breaks. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it is almost better than having a French SIM card as it works on a PAYG basis, no expiry, no roaming charges and pretty cheap calls within France back to the UK. Prices aren't spectacular for UK to UK calls, so I wouldn't consider it as a UK replacement unless you are a light user.Apparently the website doesn't go live until Christmas day so presumably you won't be able to place an order until then. I'll be ordering mine!http://www.travelfone.co.ukI've got nothing to do with this company, but I thought the service was so good I couldn't not recommend it.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 That could be interesting for those of us living here who don't make a lot of calls - "emergency" users.It says £29.95 for the card including £2 credit. Charges for calls within France (i.e. France to France) are then:Receive a call FREE Call a landline £0.29 Call a mobile £0.44 SMS text (outgoing) £0.20 Other charges: Conference call £0.29 SMS text (incoming) FREE Balance enquiry FREE TopUp Credit FREE Helpdesk Hotline FREE Checking VoiceMail FREE Call set up (one time) FREE Call Forwarding I am assuming these are prices per minute or part thereof.I can't see anything about credit expiry - does it specify those terms somewhere?
