Hi all, the situation is that i am stranded in france for the next week... With nothing but a phone line! I have had a quick search on the net which proved fruitless:-( all the pages are in French, for one thing. So, I was wondering if any of you knew of a french PAYG ISP I could connect to for my daily fix! It's easy to find this for the UK but not so easy for france. Please? Thanks, Chris

Serves you right for going to France! ;)

I'd recommend Ireland, but I went there not long ago and it's all a bit tacky and full of touristy clichés. Oh, and it's VERY expensive. €5.50 a pint!

Not sure how good this is/isn't but http://www.magic.fr/acces/rtcnumeris.php seems like the kind of thing your after, might be worth using bablefish on it.

Thanks - that looks particularly promising, especially the "ACCÈS GRATUIT DIAL UP" bit!

Presumably there is nothing to stop you using a UK dial-up service number, but I wouldn't like to have your phone bill afterwards.

Surely they have internet cafes, and most hotels provide broadband access (for a price).

Better still, chat up some french chick (or guy) who has broadband and install yourself in their home for the duration! :lol: :lol:

Orange most likely, their owned by France Telecom (aka &) they owned Orange over here and Wanadoo.

Lemme know if you need any pages translating as you know how shit the google ones are.

Not my bill, so I don't need to worry.

And why would I go to an internet cafe when I have a laptop!

To plug it into a B/band port, same as you would do in a hotel or at the airport...or to pick up a decent wireless connection.

Am I really a Potato? *checks himself* - Yup! Complete with two eyes and everything! As for if I'm the Potato you're looking for, well, that's a different pan of water entirely. Check your PM's :)
