prepaid 3G SIM for data only - 1 week in Paris & surroundings -
24-08-2013, 18:15
Hi,
Planning a 1 week visit to Paris & surroundings. I have a 3G iPad2 and want to purchase a data SIM card with a 500MB-1GB data package. No need for test messages/voice. On previous visits to France I purchased the Carrefour SIM card for my iPad2 (had to cut the regular SIM down to a micro SIM, the sales lady almost fainted...). Now after browsing through their Web site it seems that they do not have this option any longer? Regarding the Orange offer, I understand that I'll have to pay 10 Euros for 500MB valid for 1 month (the recharge internet mobile)? What exactly do I need to ask for in order to get this type of SIM card and data package? (unless there's a better option). I need the simplest option, so that I'll be out of the store as soon as possible (last year I purchased an Orange card near Calais, took me more than 1 hour...). Thanks. |

France is almost as bad as France for having to jump through hoops to get a working data SIM card
Myself I use EuropaSIM (Europa SIM-Card - Mobiles Internet in Europe, jederzeit, überall - ab ? 2 pro Tag ) across Europe, owing to its 500MB per day for 3 euros rate - I think you get 25 mins of calling as part of the deal - which is great for `it just works' data facilities. Hope this info helps... +Steve PO Box 1014, Sheffield S10 5YG, UK Home mobie: Telefonica O2 Other UK mobiles: 3, Vodafone, Virgin Foreign SIMs: Toggle (multi); Germany (Fonic); Poland (Orange PL); Skype: stevewgold |

Their Web site is down since they are on vacation -

I'll read the details there in a few days.
But in the meantime - does this SIM have an expiry date, as all prepaid SIMs have? In this case it's no use to me. Thanks. |

That's why I wrote that I'll read it in a few days -

Strange that a Web site is shut down for days due to a vacation.
What about customer service for existing customers? |
