France is the country I visit most often, so I'm disappointed that most of the French networks have such poor prepaid deals with unfavourable data options and credit typically expiring after a matter of days.

The best deal I can find for my travel patterns is Lycamobile.fr, who have an expiry policy 3 months of non-usage (no top-ups required) and €0.09 per megabyte. They also send out free SIM cards to French addresses with €1 of free credit.

Although €0.09/MB is not particularly cheap, for typical iPhone usage it works out at less than the UK networks' daily data roaming bundles (£2-£3 for 25-30MB). For frequent visits to France of a day or two each time when I need data and free incoming calls, LycaMobile seems like a good option. Are there any better deals that I should be aware of?
