Where is a good place to buy a SIM card in France?
I'm travelling to France in a week and would like to be able to use my phone. I live in Canada and my provider charges too much for travel packages, so I thought I would buy a SIM card in France. I'll be in Paris and the North of France.
What companies offer good deals on SIM cards there? Can you buy them in the airport? Or is it best to get them in town?
I have an iPhone 4GS with a GEVEY unlocking chip. It worked great when I traveled to the US and bought a sim card from T-Mobil.
I'm primarily interested in data - not so much calling. And I will be traveling to Austria, Hungary and Czech Rep. For a bit too.
Although I'm not overly tech saavy on SIM cards since I have the international plan on my phone, I do know that you can buy SIM cards in French Tobacco stores and at phone stores like the big three operators in France (Orange, Bouygues, and SFR). Check out their sites as well as Lycamobile and LeBarra.
- Will I be able to transfer my contract from a regular Sim card to a Micro Sim card? I want to buy an iPhone 4S on T-mobile, but my current T-mobile sim card is a regular one that would not fit in to the iPhone 4S. Would I be able to somehow move my contract on to the new Micro Sim?

- Where is a good place to buy a cute, but good iPhone 5s case? I want a cute case, but I also want to make sure that it will protect my phone if I drop it. Right now I have an OtterBox Defender case, but it is just so big and bulky.
- Where can i get a sim card for my iphone for france? I have an iPhone 5 and i will be traveling to France this summer for 10 days. I have read about where to get prepaid sim cards but they all seem to be bought in France. I want to know if I can buy it in the USA and then just put it in my phone. My phone is unlocked but my carrier does not support International. Also, when would i put it in my phone, the day i leave or could it still work while in America and I just put it in early?
