Information ab Internet on iPad2 in France

[MariozPOC 0]

Hi, I am very sorry but my french is terrible and it is better I don't use it :-)

 

I would like to ask somebody in this nice forum to get some help and indications.

 

I'll come to France in a couple of weeks for about a week and I'll be back to France again for a week each time and for some months.

 

I have to stay in country places so I don't believe I'll have internet hot spots avaible.

 

Is there any pre-paid microsim from SFR/Orange/etc.... I can buy as I'll arrive in France and they do not cost a fortune? Can you suggest me any solutions?

 

Thnks very much and sorry again for writing not in French.

Hi,

 

Yes, you can get from SFR a pre-paid "Pass internet" for your iPad provided it's a 3G one.

As per their brochure cost is 3 euros for 3 days with the possibility to renew it on line (of course with the full support of your credit card :) )

 

Here is the link to their webpage (in french of course)

Same service is available with Orange at a cost more or less the same.

 

However there is a lot of public and private places where you can have free wifi hot spots (McDonald is an example)

 

Should you need any more details, just post it. I will investigate a bit more

 

All best

Thnks Phil, very nice from you. The hot spot matter depends from the places. As this is the first time I go there I am not able to understand if I have some opportunity or not (as I mention before I have to go in some country villages).

 

Any way I noted everything from your msg and as I arrive in France I will go to an SFR point to take this "pass internet" (I think the one week long one it is perfect for my need).

 

Thnks a lot again :-)
