French mobile data on pre-pay is always problematic. At 3 euros a day for 500MB the EuropaSIM service is a doddle to use. No brainer really

I looked at the EuropaSIM website and it says that they're sold out of sim cards for 2013. That doesn't really tell me much. Does anybody know how long they've been sold out? Are they likely to have more cards at the beginning of 2014?

I seem to recall this happening a few years back - also over the Xmas/New Year holiday - I think they are just indicating they are closed for the holidays.

Motorhome WiFi are open for business - http://www.motorhomewifi.com/ - so they may be a better - and slightly cheaper - option for a EuropaSIM card.

Hope this info assists / Steve
