Which French operator?

I have Orange FR and you really need "only" 20? a year...that is 2 10 day ?10 top ups as you get 6 months extended validity of the sim after the 10 days are up (although you lose the 10? credit or whatever is left)...hate that way of doing things...at least riiing lets you keep validity for 9 months if you make 1 call...if you make a call you should be able to extend validity.

The other problem with both Orange FR and SFR, well not so much with SFR as you can use foreign vodafone vouchers to top up, is if you don't have a French credit card the only way to top up is with vouchers bought for Orange FR specifically; Orange has not yet mastered how to use other Orange vouchers to top up while outside of France so you have to buy them in advance...
