karena
karena Posts: 386 Forumite
Daughter workingin France for about 5/6 months, she is currently on 02 contract which unfortunately will still be active while she is in France. Is it advisable to buy a French SIM card, pay as you go and will that work in her 02 iphone? Or maybe just stick with texts on her inclusive 02 contract and phone very occasionally? No idea really, any help much appreciated.

    It will if the phone is unlocked.
    You understand that you have to call her, not vice versa, do you?

    It's 1000 minutes p.m. if you call her.
