I’ll explain how I did it, and the various options I had below.
The biggest difference? I used my phone freely for calls, emailing and even browsing the web, and never even got close to exhausting my plan. In the end, it provided me with a much more cost-effective way of using my iPhone while traveling outside the States.
The experience was actually much simpler than I had imagined. Once I popped it into my phone, I just used my smartphone as I normally would, although I now was dialing with a French phone number. Rather than purchasing what was then a $70 “Passport” package from AT&T before leaving (the company has since switched its international plan to a $10/day International Day Pass, as we discussed in this series of posts), I instead bought a SIM card package in Paris from a French phone carrier for €39. To stay connected with my American iPhone this time around, I decided to try out a new strategy and buy a SIM card in Europe. On a recent trip, I spent two weeks visiting Paris and traveling around Bordeaux and the Loire Valley. This NanoSIM card might be small, but its savings are huge.
