Is it too late for me to join you all?
I also like one, and if possible, 2 cards.

They don't make it easy by any means! I got myself a French address where I could send the sim card and right away I run into the next problem: they accept only pure French cards and nothing else.

Once one has got the sim card, it isn't a problem any more, because you can recharge with bouygues vouchers, but this €4,99 for the sim card really has to be paid with a French card...

Thanks for that information. I was considering using someone's French address, but it seems that I'll need to use their credit card as well, which is asking too much of a favour.

Somehow we need to order lots of these for all of us in this forum and then distribute them afterwards. However, I get the impression that the SIM card might be linked to the B&You login used to make the order. This makes ordering large quantities impractical, as a separate login will be required for each SIM card.

The other problem is that B&You doesn't have a phone number or e-mail address for non-customers, which makes it difficult to ask them for help on ordering.

I have the same thoughts, NFH.

I also don't think it is possible to order more than one sim card per account. And per account they require your passport number, etc. It al seems quite restrictive...

Are you sure, kuba.g, that B&You requires a credit card issued in France as opposed to a credit card with a billing address in France? The latter is easier to achieve.

bavablu · 20-02-2013, 17:02

is there any cheap way to solve the French delivery address problem?

Offering a 99109 postcode for Germany in my case is most likely not the solution.

How about sending it to my hotel address in France?

kuba.g · 02-10-2012, 19:53

Not sure... how can one with a billing address in France be achieved? Should you have (access to) such a card, do let me know then we can test it.

It's easy enough to change the billing address for many credit cards, particularly a card that is marketed across borders. Unfortunately B&You doesn't accept American Express, otherwise that would be an easy one to try. The problem is that I don't have a French address any more.

My understanding is that the restriction (which applies for quite a few things, not just telephony) is based on the country of the issuing bank, not the billing address.
