Anyone who travels between France and the US has heard the complaint, “Why doesn’t everyone use prepaid phone cards in America like they do abroad?” In fact such conveniences are easily available. When traveling to France, you can avoid the scary unknown of how much your cell phone is racking up in bills by instead using prepaid calling cards. The same exact service is available in the US for calls to France, with France calling cards. So there’s no need to lament the different between the continents. This is one convenience that is enjoyed on both sides of the Atlantic.
