French Pay-Monthly SIM card
In partnership with Cellhire we recently launched the first Pay-monthly French SIM card for UK customers. We created this unique new French Pay-monthly product as a result of feedback and growing demand from both existing customers as well as new enquirers looking for more flexibility. The Pay-Monthly SIM offers all the benefits of a Prepaid SIM without the hassles of having to top-up or keep your SIM alive.
From just £6.99 per month you can avoid all roaming charges; call the UK from 32p/min, make calls within France from just 20p/min, English voicemail, English customer support and fully itemised billing. Typically it is very difficult to get a Pay-Monthly SIM in France because French networks require a local bank account and a credit history, we overcome this problem by simply billing your UK or French credit card.
