Accessing the internet from the comfort of home is something that is generally taken for granted, but having that same convenience whilst travelling in France can be extremely expensive. However, a new service from 0044 Ltd, the French mobile phone specialists, means that you can get on-line throughout France at a fraction of the cost that a UK provider might charge and without the need to commit to a lengthy contract with a local broad band offering.

0044.co.uk has launched a new data solution in the form of a simple USB stick and a range of data ‘bundles’. Equally the Global SIM and International SIM can offer a similar solution. The USB stick simply plugs into a lap top or PC and automatically installs providing immediate access to the internet. ‘WiFi hotspots’ can also be used throughout France and means that you can remain on-line without using any of the data bundle you have chosen. The USB stick is available at 0044.co.uk and costs £99.00 with data bundles starting at £29.00 for a monthly bundle of 50MB of data. This equates to a massive saving of over 40% when compared to many UK offerings and without the need to commit to a contract. Data can also be accessed by using a Global SIM card or International SIM card that 0044 Ltd can provide.

Angus MacLeod of 0044 commented, “Feedback from many of our expat customers indicates a growing need to get on-line whilst in France, either as part of the search process for a property, or once settled in their new home. UK providers still charge hefty roaming charges for data and not everyone wants to commit to France Telecom or broad band contracts.” The new French data solution from 0044 Ltd aims to deliver a simple solution for on-line banking, web browsing and emailing amongst other activities. As do the Global SIM and International SIM that we provide. “It’s an extremely easy solution to adopt and is fully supported from the UK customer support team” he added.
