Does anyone know how I would go about buying a French SIM card for my iPhone before I leave Canada? I want to be able to use it on the Via Gebennensis and Chemin de Saint Jacques.
Thanks,
Rowena

I used SIMSmart here in the states. Not sure if they ship to Canada.

Very pricey to buy a prepaid French SIM and have it shipped to Canada, you'd be better off buying one in France, buy it from a phone store and make sure it works before you leave the store. Here is a link of available prepaid SIM cards, it seems that Orange is the largest phone carrier in France.

I use Orange but make sure your phone is unlocked.
