B&YOU: carte prépayée

[woody1]

So, I got an email today about B&You moving its prepaid customers to Simyo. This was the first time I heard about this, although I see that willemijns discussed it here a few days ago.

I'm not too happy about this; I went to a lot of trouble to get the B&You card. Here's one thing that worries me: with B&You, it's possible to buy Bouygues recharges at many retail shops. I don't see anything on the Simyo site that indicates that regular Bouygues recharges will work with Simyo.

If that's the case, then the only alternative is a credit card. If it turns out that Simyo won't allow a foreign (in my case, a US) credit card, then there will be no easy way to recharge the account.

So, my question is, does anybody know if it's possible to recharge a Simyo card with a Bouygues recharge? Also, does anybody know if Simyo will accept US credit cards on their website?

Oh, I didn't look too closely at the date of your post. I see that it was today!

So, you are saying that it is possible to use a Bouygues topup on the Simyo account? That's good, because I bought an extra topup to use when my B&You account gets close to expiration. Hopefully, I will be able to use it with the Simyo card.

What method could I use to topup in the US? If I can't get a network connection, is there an alternate way to topup?

If you change your mind and decide to sell your second sim I would be happy to buy it from you. Simply name your price.

What's interesting is that when I had some problems topping up my two B&You SIMs in Paris, I visited several Bouygues Telecom outlets to troubleshoot (the problems stemmed from the fact that you need to enter the codes into a French voice prompt and I speak zero French). The BT workers told me that the the B&You SIMs use their network, but it is not the same company. But in the end, they did help me.

I'll be curious to know what happens after Aug. 27th -- I am holding on to my SIMs, and other than navigating the French voice prompt system, was happy with my experience, including assistance from willemijns (thanks again!).

let me tell you about my experience with B&You this summer.
I was subletting a Paris apartment. I asked the apt owner to upload the form with her credit card and address but with all my accurate personal information.

The card came in 2 days!

this means that anyone going to a hotel can ask a concierge or desk person (perhaps for a small tip) to upload the request and you will get the sim card right away.

second, the card is moving from B&You to Simyo

this is the message I received. I think it is only access to the account that will change:
