I think you can do better than $300 - $400 with a French SIM. Bouygues Telecom offers Wap GPRS, EDGE: € 2.00/MB (1 KB increments) i-modeŽ GPRS, EDGE: € 5.00/MB (1 KB increments) all e-mails received (less than 300KB) are free of charge.
If you use 12 MB that is max (12 * 5) = 60 euros or ~ $95 for data.
See

Use that for data and your T-MO card for calls. Don't forget a calling card and use that if and when you can.
