    Bad experience with Orange International Travel phone plans

    I used Orange this year for an E-sim and they were terrible. They didn't send me the bar code I needed to activate the SIM and when I reached out by phone, text and e-mail for customer service no answer and no live chat! A week later i received a cut and paste answer to the issue. I swallowed...

    Lesson learned: must unlock phone to use a European SIM Card (My Fail)

    I always buy an eSIM in Canada before I leave then I activate it the day before to make sure everything is working. No need to pop any Sim cards in or out

    Alert: Route blocked between Borce and Urdos

    Thx Andy - I shall keep this thread and figure it out before we go. Just curious, I was debating walking ARles or Geneva (Via Gebennenis) to Le Puy and then the Stevenson (I have done Le Puy) - have you walked Geneva or the Stevenson?

    Accommodation issues on the Norte ?

    Orio to Zarautz
