If you want to advertise LeFrenchMobile's high prices, please start your own thread instead of hijacking this thread.

I'm not sure what you mean by "we". You don't speak for me. Many of the posters and readers on this forum are based outside France and Europe. For many of us, convenience and ease of obtaining the SIM and subscription outweigh the data and call costs. So I want to hear B&YOUs cons as well as pros, warts and all.

And no, I'm not spamming for LeFrench Mobile SIM, I use a Mobicarte, supposedly inferior for "occasional visits to France". So I'd like to hear about coverage for B&YOU. Runs on the BT network, yes? How does that compare with the "inferior" Orange product when you are on holiday in remote rural France and need to use the phone? There are some pretty big white areas on the BT coverage map, including the little village in the Pyrenees I go to each year that has Orange coverage.

Thanks for pointing this out. If there were other non-expiring SIM cards available, I'd prefer one that runs on Orange or SFR. Hopefully Buzz Mobile, SFR's equivalent of B&You, will follow B&You's lead on non-expiry (currently 3 months).

Well if it helps, I got the card issued by HSBC in France. But not sure if this works for all of you.
