I am new to iphone.

With this SIM card offer you pay for a local French card
and get unlimited email, internet, SMS (everything but voice)?

Is that correct?

I will be taking my US iphone which is now with ATT in the US.

Will this work or do I need to have it unlocked before traveling
to France?

Thanks!

The iPhone would have to be jailbroken & unlocked

Default SFR la carte iphone top up did not work for me! - 12-09-2009, 17:59

Hi, in case anyone is thinking about getting an SFR sim card to use with a jailbroken/unlocked iphone 3GS you might want to know that I tried and it didn't work!
I have an iphone 3GS which was originally blocked to O2. The phone is now unblocked and I can use it here in France with any sim card BUT when I bought the top-up for the iphone I got the 10 eur calling credit (I went for the 24 eur "recharge" for 20 days of unlimited internet plus 10 eur of calling credit) and NO INTERNET!
I would recommend anyone thinking about buying this top-ups to try the 3 eur one first which allegedly gives you unlimited internet for 24 hours and then, if it works, buy the 20 day one.
Also if anyone has managed to get internet/mails on their iphones using this please let me know. I'd like to know if the problem is my phone or what.

I had the same problem as Ivanlyon. I bought the 24EU top up only to have the internet not work! Even worse SFR would not refund the top up card for me, even though they admitted it was their fault. Their rationalle for the internet not working was that my iPhone was from Canada. I have it jailbroken, and was using data from UK providers so I think that excuse is wrong. I have a feeling it has something to do with the settings...any help!!!!!

Default Works for me - 27-09-2009, 15:28

I have a Rogers 3GS 3.0, jailbroken (redsn0w) and unlocked (ultrasn0w) and an SFR prepaid SIM. I purchased the 24euro data offer from the SFR website, and it works perfectly. All the settings were loaded automatically, I just enabled 3g on my iphone.

More problems with these SFR La Carte Iphone top-ups...
I tried again with the 3 eur (internet for 1 day) top-up and it worked fine. Then I bought the 24 eur one and again it worked perfectly. When it expired I went again for the 24 eur top-up and it worked fine for about 10 days and then suddenly one day the internet stopped working. The error message I get when I try to open a website is something along the lines of... "Safari could not open the webpage because the server stopped responding"
I'll probably keep trying because I have no choice but if you have other options don't bother with these top-ups. They're unreliable and very very annoying!

Smile My experience with with SFR and Orange - 01-08-2010, 12:18

Hi,
I was in paris for 10 days and I asked a local friend of mine to purchase me two sim cards.
1. prepaid Orange
2. prepaid SFR with iphone package.
i have an Iphone 3gs with ios4 unlocked (not jailbreak)

the orange sim card worked right away but the price for internet was very high.
I had 5 euros credit on the phone and after 1 minutes of use i had 3 euros.
the SFR never worked for me.
I went to two different places and they didn't manage to activate it.
At the end I gave up and use the SFR to receive calls.
Also I used then service to place calls with call back services.
The call back service was blocked with the orange sim.

You must change your data settings in the iPhone to the following, or it won't work with SFR

Operator: - SFR
GPRS APN: - websfr
Username: - {blank}
Password: - {blank}
DNS: - 172.20.2.10, 194.6.128.4

AT&T iPhones phones restricts you from changing it manually. You cam go to unlockit.co.nz for instructions.

I have an AT&T phone so the settings are hidden, anyone know where I can get the file for websfr?

Thanks in advance.

Go to unlockit.co.nz on your iPhone Safari, Custom APN, and enter what I listed above. You can manually edit the APN, just tap on it.
