Phone menu is no problem...most phones I know of have a way of setting the menus on the phone to English no matter the sim card...

Support is another matter....when I first got my French sim (Orange FR) you were able to set some of the voice menus to English but at some point that ability has been taken away...the French you know are very touchy about language and consider anybody not fluent in French to be not very whatever (fill in whatever word you want)...don't know about SFR...in most countries I have prepaid sims in, the voice menus can be set to English (Vodafone IE, Vodafone UK, Vodafone DE, Vodafone NL, Vodafone IT...) no surprise about the first two and the rest seem to have something in common but I can't figure what.
