Introduction
The Lebara Mobile SIM card for France was designed specifically for U.S. and Canadian travelers who need an affordable cell phone service for France. Lebara Mobile uses the existing Bouygues Telecom network, one of the largest network operators in France, and has incredibly low rates for calling back home as well as unlimited free incoming calls. This SIM card comes loaded with 150 minutes of talk time to call back to the U.S. or Canada, and you can purchase additional talk time before you depart, or by calling Cellular Abroad during your stay. You can also find additional talk time vouchers locally in France.
