Overseas Holiday - Phone Advice Needed

Hi,

I am travelling to France on holiday and need a cheap way to receive calls from the UK.

The caller has a mobile that is paid for by work so I want to avoid the cost of receiving her calls on my mobile. Probably about 1hr per day duration.

Landline is not an option. Any advice welcome.

    Get a skype phone or buy a payg phone in France.

  • Previously we have taken an unlocked mobile from the UK to various countries and on arrival simply purchased a PAYG simcard and once activated sent a text to the people we need to who then call us.
