Bloody hell Gary.

You must be doing my checklist. LOL

I have an unlocked wifi dongle (mifi) which I was going to get a SIM card for. I also have an old unlocked iPhone 4 and have recently considered getting a card for it instead.

I have considered Le French mobile in the past.

I have just looked at the link above again.

I worked out if I buy the following

Sim €20 plus 1 MB Data €40 = €60

I have changed to Vodafone since my last trip to France. My contract includes European traveller. Vodafone charge me £3 for any day I use the phone outside the home network and everything comes out of my usual package. I have unlimited texts and calls as well as 2MB per month. We are in France for 21 days this summer. If I use it every day it will be £63 added to my bill. If I use it alternate days it will only be £33 charge.

Think I will just use my own phone in France this year.

To accelerate the deployment of its physical network Free announces an interactive kiosk that will subscribe to a mobile and get immediate SIM card package. This terminal will be installed in outlets House Network Press and Media Mag. Ten Pin (two in Paris) will be installed on Thursday.

To accelerate the development of its network of sales outlets in France, Free decided to focus on physical shops, like its competitors, but also a system of kiosks that will be available in some networks of traders. If already in some airports, like those providing drinks distributors exist, they only allow the purchase of pre-paid SIM cards, which are often more expensive than those available in the shops of operators .

Free interactive terminal, manufactured in France and has a touch screen, will perform virtually all operations generally available in stores, including direct subscription to one of the two mobile operator packages (2 euros or 19.99 euros) as on the website.
But unlike the latter, it will provide immediate obtaining the corresponding SIM card, whatever its size. For those who have already subscribed, this kiosk will notably change the format of SIM card, get a new one in case of theft or loss or even make paying bills.
SIM says Free, will be distributed in minutes and can be immediately inserted into the phone. Payment will be possible through a credit card.
