My partner & I are going to france for 6 months, both currently have orange contract mobiles in the UK.
Is a French mobile the cheapest option to call each other, I do need to keep my uk phone on to receive business calls & have heard about dual sim, what is this?

    I have seen some adaptors to replace a single SIM with a holder for 2, but have also read that they only suit certain phones. It is possible to buy French Orange SIMs almost anywhere in France (15 euros Pay as you go)
    This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !
