Report on using Orange Mobicarte in France

[scirocco]

The Mobicarte requires a minimum top-up of 10 euros every six months after the credit has expired to prevent the number from expiring. If you are in France and can buy a recharge, suggest you buy a 10 euro recharge voucher and take it home with you. You can do the recharge in your home country using the #123 menu on the phone. If you do it just before 13 May then the number will stay alive for another six months after that.

The vouchers last for ages if not used; the clock doesn't start ticking on the credit until you actually add it to the account.

Apologies for belated response - I didn't receive any notification of a newreply

Thanks for your reply. I will be back in France next week so will buy a top up for next year!
