Hi all ...

I've recently moved from the US to France for the next year or so.

I have an (unlocked) 8700g from T-Mo and I signed up for their "unlimited international" plan. Like a lot of others on this board, I was specifically told that it was "unlimited internet and email" but recently told that I'd be paying $15/Meg for internet usage and that the plan was really an "unlimited international *email*" plan ...

Anyways, I am now shopping around for a Blackberry plan here in France. Ideally, I'd like something where I can get simple prepaid cards for my family and have free calls between us, but I can't really find any such deal.

I'd love to hear from others who have been able to obtain a plan (forfait, prepayed, abonnement ... whatever) that works well with the blackberry that they did NOT buy from the same provider.

In fact, I havent been able to find a website (preferably in English, but I'll try French as well!) that compares and clarifies French mobile phone plans ... any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Merci!

Excellent, merci beaucoup! I'll try them tomorrow. I'm in the south of France, near Cannes, but I'm guessing it wont be a problem for them to ship me a SIM card.

Thanks again!
