In France most people use postpaid.
Prepaid is usually more expensive and you don't get a great phone for near free on subscription.

But if you choose to top-up often you get better prices.
For instance with virgin if you top-up 20?/month you pay 0.27?/min.
If you choose postpaid you get the same rate + unlimited sms.

With Bouygues telecom prepaid, if you top-up with the highest recharge (75?)
with 2 times less validity (3month. so that's 25?/month). you will pay 17 cents/min.

French prepaid rates are more likely based on the abount yoou choose to recharge/month.
If you choose the minimum, rates are higher.


For instance with NRJ mobile, they don't have ending validity.
But their rates is 0.55?/min !
But if you pay 25? once for 6 month, you will cut the price in half (that's still high price i think however, but more affordable)

Call to voicemail is free in france, with all operator.


About virgin, they called me :

The phone menu can be in english, but the voice menu will still remain in French.
The 5? inclued with the sim is valid 1month.
There is free delivery, and you can it can be aboard.
