I sell virtual credit card to buy yourself your b&you credit card (mandatory FR snail mail address of your side for SIM card reception), 6€ by "international virement" or 7€ paypal.

contact me by PM.

Refund policy:
* 100% if error is from my side
* -0.5€ penality per asked/bought virtual CC number if error is from your side, rejected paiement, postal strikes or virtual CC number not used after X months.

FYI In france it is legal to receive postal letters on another address. Your IP address used for the subscription and the passport number is the proof of the simcard ownership.
postal address examples: "Sébastien WILLEMIJNS chez Mr Joe BestFriend 123 rue de lyon 75000 paris" or "Sébastien WILLEMIJNS Hotel du Moulin Rouge 123 rue de lyon 75000 paris" hotel owner keeps generally 15 days the postal letter.

FAQ:
* If you are not born in France (99.99% the case), choose 99 as department number during your subscription
* Passport number contain your residence country. it is an international code placed in position 11-13 of the passport number. see wikipedia.
* you can not subscribe to B&YOU 24/7 offers, only prepaid is allowed.

document and FAQ conditions changelog

Les clients qui avaient déjà choisi la Carte prépayée B&YOU seront également confiés à simyo à partir du 27 août. Ils conserveront tous les avantages liés à l’offre qu’ils avaient choisie, notamment les recharges sans durée de validité.
Leur Carte prépayée sans durée de validité passera à la marque simyo
Pour accéder à leur suivi conso et recharger leur Carte prépayée, ils devront se rendre sur l’espace client de simyo.fr. Comme actuellement, il sera aussi possible d’appeler le 630 (appel gratuit) ou d’utiliser les tickets recharges Bouygues Telecom disponibles en points de vente.
Les conditions tarifaires ainsi que la durée de validité des recharges restent inchangées pour eux.

So there's no Prepaid offer anymore from this operator?

simyo - Vous téléphonez peu, téléphonez mieux

sms does not works if you go outside of France. but if you are old customers
of "b&you carte prépayée" it will works... :chair::chair::chair:

simyo France is still owned by the owner of b&you...

'M I able to buy one those simyo prepaid cards offline?

I hope they won't change our SIMs...

dunno. bad service.

normally not... but i do not believe them...

in all case, the offer does not change... for vthe moment ^^

lot of deceptions on the french cellphone mobile forum :-(

So it sounds as if there's no change for current B&You prepaid customers except for branding, but no new customers will be able to get the existing B&You prepaid deal either on B&You or Simyo.

I was beginning to wonder whether my second spare B&You SIM card was a wasteful purchase, but now I'm thinking the opposite.
