Sorry, but I didn't see your post until now. I'm pretty sure that the same microSIM that works in an iPhone will also work in other kinds of phones. I don't think there's anything special about the iPhone SIMs. Also, I would be very surprised if Orange doesn't have microSIMs available for other phones. Most carriers seem to have them now, and they're used in some very popular phones, e.g., Galaxy S3

Indeed. A micro-SIM is the same as the more widespread mini-SIM but without so much redundant plastic around the contacts. A nano-SIM has even less redundant plastic around the contacts and is also 12% thinner than the mini-SIM and micro-SIM.

hi

I am quickly approaching my 6 month limit (expected for end of Jan) but I can see two dates in my online account:-

Mon Plan Tarifaire says :- Votre crédit est épuisé. Vous devez recharger votre compte avant le 31/07/2013 pour conserver votre numéro de ligne prépayée.

Suivi Consol says :- votre Compte rechargeable est épuisé
numéro valide jusqu'au 29/01/2013 inclus (I haven't recharged this since July and only 10 euros)

Does anyone understand why these dates are different.

I don't actually need the internet again until July but I understood we had to top up again after 6 months to keep the line active?

I don't know why the "alert" has a different date; anyway, the date in "Suivi Conso" is more reliable.

I've never been able to figure out why there is a difference. The date in My Plan changes all the time. Today it is telling me I need to recharge in exactly one month to keep the number alive, whereas the data in Suivi Conso is correct (6 months from credit expiry) and stays the same.

I've never seen the date in My Plan be later than Suivi Conso, though. I always see an earlier My Plan date than Suivi Conso, and I just assumed it was scare tactics to get you to do a recharge earlier than you really needed to.

normally it is the same yep.

> Suivi Consol says :- votre Compte rechargeable est épuisé

if i was you you must top-up at this date... on the mobile world, the voice info
is better than internet personnal dashbord information. it is well-known and also
6 months is the limit for mobicarte since a lot of years.............

I think that what myself and other posters are saying is that it is NOT normally the same. You would think it SHOULD be, but it isn't. That's the problem.

Here's a screenshot of my "Mon Plan Tarifaire" (on top) and my "Suivi Conso" (below) with very different dates. And yesterday the "Mon Plan Tarifaire" page was telling me that I need to recharge in one week. Today apparently I have 4 months.

I think I will believe the Suivi Conso date, since it states 6 months from when I know the credit expired, and it doesn't change as time goes by.

WTF ? seems to be the same but not the same.... "compte rechargeable" are not actually an offer ("forfait") but an offer named for now "initial" permit to pay 7 euros per month and the top-up you include is valid forever AFAIK.

i think orange France mixed a lot somewhere ^^

I would like to know if they still have Internet Max option and for what price, I've tried to surf on thei site ut it seems to be impossible to find out, the page is blocking when I tried to open it.
