Have a look at this site for an explanation (in English) of one offering from Orange: France - Orange - Prepaid Wireless Internet Access

It seems both offers to be no longer available...

wisniak · 14-05-2009, 09:37

maccoy, so what are the available options (that enable GPRS/3G-based browsing)?
Again, only PAYG.
Thank you.

I was just looking at the Orange Internet site...
There is a new "Internet Max" option for 12€ a month (6€ for two month if activated by June 17th).
It is almost the same as the old "Internet Max" and mails are not included.
And the "Découverte Multimedia" option is still available for the Mobicarte (PAYG) customers.

what is "Découverte Multimedia" ? Is the Internet Max not available with mobicarte anymore (described in another thread)?

I"m not quite clear on these options.
Do you mean that the internet max option allows only browsing but not emails?
I apologize for all these questions, but again, my French is very rusty.

For both options, you can browse with your PDA but you can't download your e-mails.

wisniak · 14-05-2009, 18:01

This is strange indeed!
How then can I retrieve my emails?
I mean, in my case I can access the emails through OWA, but this is VERY cumbersome (I have GMAIL, POP3 and IMAP accounts).
For me the best way is using the built-in email (or any other email tool).

You can retrieve your e-mails using a webmail address.

Thanks.
