Joemobile to end

[Bgrr]

Joemobile will cease to be from May this year. From their email it seems its parent company SFR have been taken over by the group "Numericable" who also now own Virgin Mobile. The Virgin package they are offering as an alternative is a no go as far as I am concerned - much more expensive and I don't think you can switch it on and off as you could Joemobile.

Oh no! i just got a new sim card too
Does anyone have alternative suggestions (other than 3)?

For the virgin sim, you have to have french address and bank account,,,you can't top up by credit card.. i think if you transfer through the joe mobile site, you can get the cockpit thingy for free. still a no go for me though as don't have french accounts.
There is another one called SYMA, but again it needs french accounts.
Shame about joe mobile, it was much better than europa sim which is very expensive and slow,and not sure if it is still working.
I have a 3 sim now so will be trying that this year, just wish it did more eu countries.
