Hi New in France and just setting up house.

Need a communications service provider for a package for internet,phone, TV and most importantly Mobile Ph that has good rates to countries outside France.(Australia USA Korea etc)

As the best times to call the eastern hemisphere from prance will be when I am traveling by road in France.

Not too worried abouut the Internet,Landline,or TV services where I live has good connections.
Before I chose a package from a service provider I need to know the mobile phone call coverage in France and mobile calls costs to outside France, this is my biggest concern.
Gathering this information from the French service providers is impossible.

Considering
Orange (Mobile to Aus 1.3 Euro/ Min ?)
SFR ?
Free ? (French network coverage ?

Any assistance apreciated

Hi. I'm new here. I know Orange has had a good deal on international calls. My friend has unlimited calls to the whole world for something like 129.

I have FREE and happy with them. Internet/phone/TV for 30£ a month. Free unlimited calls to most countries in the world. Free calls to mobile phones to Canada, US, and Europe. There is also a function to send faxes through the system for no extra charge. I'd say it is the best deal.
