I will be living in France for four months' time later this year. Seeing as the Internet Max option is no longer available, I had a few questions about using my unlocked iPhone and Orange:

1) Les recharges max are only available for those with a French credit card, correct? Is there a way of getting that package without one?

2) If I can't get les recharges max, how much can I expect to pay for data, and how much will I get?

3) I've read that incoming calls are free regardless of where they come from — is this correct? Will I be able to set up a Skype U.S. based number and forward the calls to an Orange number for free (on the Orange end, at least)?

I appreciate any guidance anyone would be able to offer me in advance. I've tried researching as much as I can, but once I think I have everything right, I find minor details that throw me off.
