Hello all,

Forgive me if this has been discussed before (I know how annoying noob questions can be). I will be in Paris for 9 days in June. I have an unlocked iPhone 4S. My plan of action was to buy a 3G Orange SIM on Ebay, something like this,

eBay | carte sim orange 3g mobicarte neuves 5e de credits

and have it sent to my Paris address in time for my arrival. I was going to cut the SIM down to the mini size and then buy 20EUR recharge at a tobacco shop to get voice, sms, and 150 mb of data (I am using this link as a guide)

http://mobile-shop.orange.fr/OneESho...in/pop_cmo.jsp

Does this sound right or are there flaws in my plan? Am I better off walking into an Orange shop in Paris and doing everything there?

I am not a heavy Internet user, but would like access to Email, FaceBook and Instagram.

Also, one thing I do not understand - do I need to specify MAX or recharging for 20EUR will automatically give me that plan?

Please advise.
