According to cellular abroad http://www.cellularabroad.com/franceRcell.html
when I purchase the French SIM card I will have prepaid for minutes. Is this correct? Judging from their prices, you all are correct that it would be very expensive to go the rental route.
:wacko: I guess I am just so obviously confused about what ought to be something logical.

All I want is to be able to have a phone in France to communicate with hotels as we journey across the country for 19 days. That is primarily the reason. It might also come in handy for other reasons and give us a sense of security if let's say we were to breakdown somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Provence.

From the standpoint of cost, let me see if I understand now:
1 - Spend $ to buy phone here.
2 - Spend Euros and buy SIM card there. Turn on phone and make calls.

(3 - All set or do I have to spend Euros to make calls?)
