Advice for ppd SIM for both UK and France?

gmmour · 04-05-2008, 23:54

By the way, incoming calls are free all over the world, except the US, Canada, China and a handfull of other places. So incoming calls in the UK with a UK SIM and in France with a french SIM won't be charged... Now you'll have to do some homework on prepaidgsm.net to find which carrier in the UK offers the best price for calls to France and vice-versa...

The set EU tarrifs for roaming are 24 cent/minute for incoming calls while roaming in another EU country and 49 cent/minute for outbound calls to another EU country (and home country) while roaming in the EU... From August 2008 it's going to be 22 cents inbound and 46 cent outbound... But since both of you will be fixed in one of the two countries, each one of you will use a local SIM in order for you to have free incoming calls and just try to find out which offer gives you the best deal for calls to each other's country.
