 i dislike calling 0800 numbers from my mobile as (in france) you never know how much it costs but it's not free. it is at minimum the cost for a national call aand with my prepaid, a national call cost 0,45€/min ... yes, it's cheaper to call China with Hiboo than Paris with Orange ;o)

.  You have convinced me there is no need to purchase a SIM(s) for FR.  I can safely stick to my international and German Sunsim cards or hope to use landline calling cards, perhaps from a payphone, if needed or available.  Those calls will be 0,29€ or 0,39€/min if I need to call FR.
