American Student Studying in France -
25-08-2014, 16:47
Hello all,
I am a university student that will be studying in Lille, France for three months (January 2015-March 2015).
I'm really new to understanding how SIM cards work and what my options are, so please excuse my lack of technical knowledge and lexicon.
I currently have a Verizon iPhone 5. I want to have domestic calling, text, and data while in France. I don't particularly care for call and text back to the States.
So, here are a few questions.
When one buys a SIM card, what do it mean that you buy credit as well? Do you pay for a certain amount of usage upfront?
If I were to travel within the EU, but outside of France, will I still be able to use the same SIM card or do I need to have a different card per country?
What are the best available options?
I would love to sift through all of your experiences and reports and I really appreciate all of you for posting, however I need to understand some of the basic information before I can dive into all your technical discussions.
Thanks for your help!
