Thanks plumeria-flower,
Yes I was asking about Oranges SIM cards for tourists. I came upon the https://orange.simoptions.com website last night but started thinking that they were a re-seller of Oranges SIM cards since the web address didn't end in .fr. Maybe I'll get a SIM thru them. They seem to have the best coverage and we are going to be in two fairly remote areas. My issue with their Tourist plan is that it only has 120 minutes of local calling and I feel like I may need more than that. I realize these days that most people tend to use their phones to consume data and text and not to make phone calls but I know what my local phone needs are going to be and I think I will need to exceed that limit. Lebara/Bouyuges offer a plan with unlimited texts/calls within France but I've used them before in rural areas of southern France and their network is spotty. The Lebara plan also has only 4 gigs of data and not Oranges 10 gigs. Thanks again!

We were just in SW France traveling by train between some larger towns and by car in isolated areas where trains just didn't work well. We bought an Orange Holiday SIM card. It was 39.99 Eur. It included 1000 texts, 120 minutes phone time as you say and 20 GB (not 10) of data for 14 days. We also did a "top-up" at the end of the 14 days for another 20 Eur. The standard top-up was supposed to be another 5 GB for 14 days, but we actually got 7 GB for 30 days on a promotion. On the train legs, we spent much time online and never had any complaints about connectivity. We used Google Maps continuously as we drove out in very rural areas from Perigueux to Sarlat, around the Dordogne area and onto Cahors via St. Cirq Lapopie. I would estimate that we had coverage that was close 98-99% out there. As she was navigating for me, there was only a few times that my spouse announced that her "bars" had gone away, but they came right back in much less than a minute. I was very pleased with the coverage and we had more data allowance than we could use, even though we used about twice as much in three weeks as we usually use at home in a month. I wonder that if 120 minutes of phone time is not enough for you, could you not simply use the ample data allowance to make phone calls via Skype or similar apps? Best wishes

bobbing4data,
Thanks for your update!! Particularly helpful as you were around the Sarlat area where we will be for one week. I've decided that between my sim cards 120 talk minutes and my sons 120 talk minutes (he will only use texting) that those four hours should be enough. We'll just do without phones on our fifteenth day in the country. Three last questions: did you buy your cards and have them sent to the States or did you buy them once in France? Also,did you download Google maps to use them offline or were you using them actively while using your data? Was the set up process fairly easy? Thanks again for your responses.

V-
Since I knew that the 14 day use-of-SIM clock starts as soon as you begin using the card in any fashion, I elected to buy it when we actually got to France and were needing it. We arrived in Bordeaux rather late on an afternoon and didn't really need it just for crashing into bed, so we waited the next day. As we started moving around the city we bumped in an Orange store. I immediately called a short halt to our wanderings and we had the SIM card up & running in 10-15 minutes from the time we walked into the store. The biggest pause was simply due to the number of customers in front of us. I had downloaded offline Google maps while at home, but never needed to use them as we had online access almost continually. The setup was about as easy as you could hope. We popped the US SIM card out, put the Orange SIM card in, and within 60 seconds we got a "Welcome to Orange message". Immediately tried some data downloads to verify we had the functionality we wanted. Bingo. We paid and walked out. One other note, I wanted to ensure we didn't lose the US SIM card, so I made sure to bring a special container along to hold it while we were bouncing around France. As soon as we got through US Customs etc, I did the SIM switch and we were back in business Stateside. The whole thing was easy-peasy as far as we're concerned. My only wish was that the initial purchase would be for longer than 14 days, but overall it was a decent value IMO.

Bobbing4data,
Thanks for the new reply! It sounds like the Orange SIM is the way to go. I'm going to order them to be delivered here in the US but will activate them once in France. I'll stagger the activation of my and my sons cards so we can have continuous coverage for the 16 days we will be in the country.

Orange sells the SIMs at the CDG airport. In terminal 1, they have a sales desk at the Customs exit.

Purchasing the SIM directly at an Orange boutique gives you the advantage of having Orange configure your phone themselves and eliminating any possible setup or connection problem.

Tocard,
Thanks for the heads up regarding location of a Orange boutique in CDG. We have two hours and forty minutes to clear customs and get our connecting flight to Toulouse so "maybe" we could count on buying the cards and getting them up and running in that time. I'm probably being overly apprehensive but my gut is that I would be most comfortable having them in hand before we leave. My 16 year old is like most his age and understands technology pretty well so I think we could get it figured out on our own. From most accounts it seems to be a fairly straight forward process.

Best,
Vance
