We are currently reviewing whether we will continue supplying French Orange payg SIMs. It’s important for us to provide a service that is easy to use for customers and with some of the new anti-terrorism laws that have been passed the registration process is too complex to administer easily. Coupled with the high per minute rates and credit expiry periods on a French payg SIM this means it is not as viable as it has been in previous years. It is therefore unlikely that we will offer them in the future.
However, there are two alternative solutions you may wish to consider which are easier to use, will make you greater savings and are tried and tested solutions.
· If you travel to France regularly or perhaps own a property there, plan to look for a property or be based there for work then we’d recommend our alternative 0044 French SIM solution which has a genuine French ‘06’ mobile number, FREE incoming calls and rates starting at only 19p/min for calls; http://www.0044.co.uk/Pay-Monthly/France-Pay-Monthly.htm They are available on short terms deals from only one month so offer great flexibility.
· If you only plan to visit for a short break, a business trip or annual holiday and don‘t plan to visit anymore frequently then our 0044 Global SIM with a UK number, free incoming calls and call rates from 30p/min may be an alternative; http://www.0044.co.uk/Global-sim-card.htm
Please do feel free to email us with any further questions, once you’ve had the chance to review the above. At the moment we do not plan to provide a French payg option and we’d also advise to be wary of alternative sources for these payg French SIMs, such as eBay or Amazon, where registration processes may be unauthorised.
