A France SIM card at US $50 includes unlimited free incoming calls, originating from anywhere in the world and calls to the U.S. as low as $0.63/minute. With international roaming rates from Nextel (and other carriers) that start at $0.99 and quickly approach $3, a France prepaid SIM card is a very attractive alternative. A cell phone rental offers similar service to international roaming but with higher airtime rates and the addition of a $99/week handset rental charge. France travel with a GSM mobile phone and a France prepaid SIM card is a more secure economical and convenient way to travel.
