I was partly mistaken. What happened for a few days last week was that I roamed the Orange France SIM into Italy using an add-on roaming pack. Incoming international calls were deducted from the minutes on that pack. It is that deduction that I was thinking of. However as stated elsewhere if I had been on the Orange home network in France, receiving the calls would have been free. Sorry for the confusion.

I am late to this thread, but still have a question about incoming international calls to my Orange SIM Card GSM phone. I am going to Corsica (France) in a week and wanted to verify that if I am on the Orange France network, will I be able to receive free incoming international calls? Thanks!

Hello jb9

Yes, if you have a Orange FR SIM Card and you have Orange FR Signal you will NOT pay for any call you receive. In Europe you don´t pay anything to receive phone calls unless you are in another country (roaming) or near a foreign border and your phone loses your home operator signal and gets signal from a foreign operator.

So after having a less than stellar experience with Lebara, I've finally given into the Orange empire.

I left this morning for Italy for a week, and I was silly enough to not top up my account or buy the European data plan before I left, and I only have EUR 3 left in my account. I've tried purchasing more credit through my account on orange.fr, but my Visa gets declined each time. I obviously haven't found any Orange recharge cards in Italy, but would anyone know of a way in which I can recharge my account (either through my Visa, Paypal, or perhaps the rare retail location that sells Orange recharges) from here?
