Travel Tips
I had been in France for 10months. Dont take any service from you home country as the charges will be more than required.and here are your answers:

[1]I had taken Nokie 2100. So if this can work, I am sure yours will work too. Why dont you check out the Sony site of France?

------------------------------...

[2]In france there are prepaid cards available. Depending on you stay you can choose the required one.

If your stay is for 1-6months then you can buy the SIM card (there is Orange--this one is best, SFR and Bouygues telecom) for 15 euros/20 euros/50 euros. For the required amount your SIM card is valid for x number of months.

The best part is even if your balance comes to 0 euros, you can recieve calls for 6months. after which you have recharge again.

If your stay is longer like for 2 years etc, there is this subsciption service each offered by the 3 compnaies which is good to go.

FOR BUYING SIM CARD:
1]you need you passport and visa photocopy.
2]SFR requires a blank cancelled cheque.

------------------------------...

[3]There are no charges for incoming calls if you have a valid SIM card for 6months

And yes forget making calls to India on your mobile. Telephone charges are high in France. You can get an international calling card at the newspapers / tobacco shops.

But it would be best if your family books a call fom India to France. Source(s): Experience in living in France:)
