Using a 3 contract mobile in France

:confused: Can you advise? Does anyone know of a simple (and cheap!) way to use our contract mobiles (with inclusive minutes on "3") during an extended 5 week holiday in France to keep in touch with eachother and with a France landline? Is there an override number in France that can be used as there is over here? Any help and advice will be gratefully received. THANKS :T
