We will be in Paris for one week. While there, we will need to communicate with our daughter who is there for the semester and some other people. While we can use our American cell phones in France, it%26#39;s hugely expensive. Is there a better way to communicate for such a short period of time?

I recommend either of these two options:
1. If you have unlocked, GSM tri or quad band phones, purchase a Breizh SIM from PhoneHouse. Cost is 6.90€. Minutes are sold prepaid in increments of 5€. 52 minutes for 10€ or .19€/min. No charge for inbound minutes.
www.phonehouse.fr
2. If you do not have an available GSM phone, purchase one for 29€ ($41) from Virgin (stores all over France). There is no setup fee and it comes with a SIM and 12 free call-out minutes. Additional minutes are available in increments of 5€ with some plans starting at .27€/minute. There is no charge for inbound calls.

A lot of people on TA recommend call in europe. The address is www.callineurope.com. You can also put this in the search box on TA and see what you get.
I have Verizon and I called and got the global plan for $5.99 a month and .99/min. I won%26#39;t be making alot calls just letting my folks know I arrived etc.
Make sure your cell company doesn%26#39;t have a plan or check Call in Europe.
