Hi,

Planning a 1 week visit to Paris & surroundings.
I have a 3G iPad2 and want to purchase a data SIM card with a 500MB-1GB data package.
No need for test messages/voice.

On previous visits to France I purchased the Carrefour SIM card for my iPad2 (had to cut the regular SIM down to a micro SIM, the sales lady almost fainted...).
Now after browsing through their Web site it seems that they do not have this option any longer?

Regarding the Orange offer, I understand that I'll have to pay 10 Euros for 500MB valid for 1 month (the recharge internet mobile)?
What exactly do I need to ask for in order to get this type of SIM card and data package? (unless there's a better option).

I need the simplest option, so that I'll be out of the store as soon as possible (last year I purchased an Orange card near Calais, took me more than 1 hour...).

Thanks.
