0044 SIM cards

[dcr]

Hi All,
Does anyone have any experience of this company and their pay monthly Orange mobile phone and French Data SIM cards?
We expect to travel the French rivers and canals next year and need to stay in contact with UK family and friends plus Banks etc and it looks as if this could be a suitable way to do it via mobile and laptop.
If possible I would be pleased to learn more about typical/actual running costs, whether the coverage for our proposed trip is suitable, plus any other useful information on 0044 and any other options that are available.
Thanks,
dcr

Have a look at Gymsim which we have used round the world over the past 5 years. Also if you have frequent access to wifi, use Skype - very economical.

We have a boat in France and buy local orange sims. You can also buy them on eBay. A week unlimited data is about 10 euro from memory.

We use GYMSIM and have used it for the last three years with no problems from N.W. Scotland to Nth Cyprus and all routes in between. Very Cheap. Go on the web site for charge rates we are PAYGO

Not so good for data though, 750 (seven hundred and fifty) euros per gig unless I've read the price list wrongly. But perhaps that's the going rate?

Many thanks for the responses and now looking into the Gymsim.
