You can keep in touch with family and friends either by traditional methods or by using the latest technology. Making a phone call is as easy as pie: you’ll find telephone booths in most places. Remember to send postcards, they are always much appreciated by those you’ve left behind… and you can also send a cyber card from our web site! For speed: an e-mail, cyber cafés even offer keyboards compatible with the Japanese system.
Telephone cards (“télécartes”)
 You will find plenty of telephone booths in the street, in metro stations, railway stations and other public places. To use them, you will need a telephone card, obtainable from France Télécom agencies, the Post Office, the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau, tobacconists and newspaper kiosks. The price varies from €8 to €15 depending on the number of units.
Public phone booths no longer take coins, but you can also use your credit card to make phone calls. You will be given credit for calls up to €15. You will only be charged for the amount of your call indicated on the screen. When the amount reaches €15, the communication will come to an end.
Two kinds of telephone cards are available: smart cards, which simply need to be inserted, and code cards which do not need to be inserted in the telephone, just follow the instructions on the back of the card.
If you wish to call abroad, international code cards offer competitive prices. These cards can also be used for calls within France.
