 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
I'm off to do a season in the three valleys and am trying to sort stuff while I still have cash.
What's my best option - buy once I get there or get a sim online like WorldSIM?
Cheers

I bought an Orange phone plus pay-as-you-go Sim from the supermarket in Moutiers. I still have it (6 years on), using the same number etc..

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

make sure whatever phone you take is not networked locked - I'm sad enuff to have a skiing phone which is a knackered old Nokia with a rubberised keyboard and impervious to water - my flahier Sony Ericsson died on day one of a trip with a couple of flakes of snow got on it..plus it always worked with the "someone's got a nokia charger" rule, back in the days they were all the same..
then as nightshift says - buy a local prepary sim card from the supermarket, after being there for a few days and figuring what network everyones on/best coverage..

I bought a sim via www.0044.co.uk or .com cant remember, so that it was all set up and I could hand the number out to mates/ family etc before I went to La Plagne- easy peasy! It can be a week or so before you get down to Moutiers or Bourg where you can buy a sim ( we couldnt buy in La Plagne)

5stitches, Orange have bought out a new card(multi national) i seem to remember seeing in London, might be handy if your out this way as Switzerland and Italy are only a snowball's throw away.

5stitches, nope-- its a French Orange sim, so its exactly the same as you'd buy out there, its just a bit more convenient to have the number and it all ready to go before you get out there. No different.
