B&YOU: carte prépayée

It looks like you can recharge it on the B&You website using a non-French credit card. I just did with a German Visa card, even though the address given is c/o the guy on eBay. (I haven't found out how to change this yet - and my date of birth is wrong too.)

For some reason the main site doesn't let you edit your address, but the mobile site does let you change it. However, despite successfully changing it from the delivery address to my UK address, B&You have changed it to the billing address entered by the person who ordered the card for me and every time I try to change it, it says "erreur interne : merci de réessayer ultérieurement". To enter a non-French address, the convention in France is to use postcode 99000.

My mistake, you're right. It should be 99 followed by a variety of three digit codes. For example the French postcode for the UK is 99132 and for Germany is 99109. 99 is the département code for "l'étranger". See Insee - COG - Pays et territoires étrangers

No, I was right. Monaco is 98000, and 99000 is the general French post code for "l'étranger", but it's also possible to use more specific last 3 digits as I wrote above.

There's someone in the Buy, Sell, Trade forum in France who wants to buy SIM cards from various countries. He even gives his Skype user ID. He might be willing to order a B&You SIM card in exchange for a SIM card from your own country.
