Club 80-90 Forums

I am off to France in a couple of weeks and want to take my IPad with a sim for surfing whilst away. Will a Uk sim work or do I need a French one? I have read various forums but still confused -can someone put it in plain English for me please.

speak to your sim provider

If you use a UK Sim in France you will have a phone bill for about 2 grand when you get home. Data roaming charges are astronomical.

I have a monthly pay as you go O2 sim and this does not work. Last time I looked into this no UK sims work. The only option was to buy a sim when in a European country which would only work in that particular country.

Think it was about €15 for a months use.

That was 2 years ago so not sure if this as changed though.

We got a sim from a company called lefrenchmobile check there web site out it might help,

Why not just enjoy being in France?

If needs must take the ipad and should internet withdrawal symtoms get so bad go visit a mucky D's while your there and use there free wifi.

I know (from personal experience) the forum and it's members is always useful in that respect but still think some sort of breakdown cover is a bit more prudent.

A whole day spent at a Mucky's where I limped the van to on the advice of my French breakdown assistance when France was closed for the day (had to happen on a Sunday) showed me the worth and wonderful camararaderie of 8090, various emails had a temp repair sorted by evening and enabled us to finish our trip and get home under our own steam.
