hello community,

Have a question for someone here, who is french or maybe lives in france?

in summer im going to paris for like 3 weeks or so, maybe even 4, so i need a wireless internet connection that would work at least semi good in fontainebleau, near paris

my questions:
1. is it possible to buy some kind of connection for only 1 month, maybe the one when you pay for GBs or hours, etc.
2.what are the prices?
3.would i need to buy some kind of hardware to use it and obv how much it costs?

special thanks,
Phantommm92

Hey!

You can get "clé 3G" from orange. Be careful though, they tend to "partitionate" your Gb so that you have internet the whole month. Meaning that they give you 3 times 340Mb if u take one Gb :)

you have to buy the USB stick : 29 euros

internet access: 25 euros/Gb


then i have another question, about how much does poker software send you information and does it depend on no. of tables, etc?
thanks


cannot provide you with the exact info cause i forgot some downloads on while playing so my credit went away in a few days... but if u only use it for poker it should do if u play 4 tables


then another question, maybe ot possible to maybe buy like 10gb for less than 250euro? or something similar?


have another question on this topic, maybe someone could list some addresses, where in paris it is possible to buy the "clé 3G"? cant understand anything in french on the net

I don't think you will exceed 1gb in you lifetime. No really, that's only text commands, no graphics, no sounds, no nothing.


defo will, tried doing it, and pretty much in 1h you get like 15mb at least ;)

You should be able to find a "cle 3g" in most mobile phone shop

well, all the data bout the hands, software updates, + images, etc.

Most poker site have all the images/ graphics and anything large local on hte client pc. all that is downloaded is data. but there can be a lot of data. and frequent updates (every second or so)

so lets say we will be near the train station central, is it easy to find a mobile shop around there?

I dont go to paris very often anymore but first there are no real central train station in Paris but rather several going in different directions :). However there should be mobile phone shop either either in each station or at very close proximity. If you know which station you are arriving at maybe I or another member might be able to help you further

Best regards

Thazar

hey dude,

here you go:

http://mobile-shop.orange.fr/forfaits-3g/1/forfaits-cles-3g+

These options are "cles 3G", goes from 8€ to 32€ a month.
It is in French so if you need more info just shout I'll try to help you out.

These would be available in any orange shop that you should find pretty much everywhere:

http://boutique.orange.fr/mx/?tp=php&IDCible=1&type=12&code_rubrique=5-325853

Just click on the map where you will be staying.


yeah, kind of understood everything just another query, whether i will need a credit card to pay for it?or just debit card is fine?

if your debit card got the visa sign on it, it should be no problem. if it is electron or delta it really depends as they are not accepted everywhere

You only download updates and images once and then hands are only text. No idea what uses so much bandwidth. ?( Nontheless, sorry to mislead you. :)
