Joe Mobile Closed - Now what do I do (1 Viewer)

[Steve101uk]

Very disappointed to see the end of Joe. I found it very useful for my French phone and data. So now what do I do. What do people think of Three feel at home when in France? or do I get a le Clerc sim when I get there? I mostly need a sim for internet.

cheers

I had Joe Mobile in 2013 then I used 3 feel at home last year......... it worked perfectly (about to use it in France in 2 weeks time)

Another thumbs up for 3.

Is it correct your can't top up the three sim when you're in France?

 

[Chockswahay]

I topped up when in Sweden last year, you just do it on line

Joe was one of the cheapest solutions for long term travel in France (3 Feel at Home usage abroad is supposed to be limited in duration, I believe), so it's a pity to lose it. It's being replaced by Virgin at a similar price, but you have to have a French bank account to top up, apparently.

You may find other worthwhile options here:

We used 3 in France last year , worked everywhere for 50p a day . just been here for a fortnight, same sims, same phones , hardly worked anywhere, rubbish. O2 phone on contract worked everywhere and you can tether with it but it is £1.99 day

 

[chaser]

Must add 3 is 50 p a day whether you use it or not, o2 is only £1.99 a day for the days you use it.

I understood three are using the orange network in France. I thought they was a good one?

I am also looking at this but it seems I have to buy the sim when in France http://www.lebara.fr/

anyone have any experience of Lebara France?

 

[DocHoliday]

I haven't used Lebara in France, but I did in Spain and I was happy. Website in English, easy to use and can top-up with a UK credit/debit card. Far superior connectivity to Lycamobile which was crap.
