Miscellaneous

Telephoning from France: important information

American and other international (non-EU) students are encouraged to make special arrangements with their cellphone providers to be able to make or receive calls once they arrive in France.

In many cases it is necessary to get an international phone plan (with supplemental fees), download a special application,or purchase a separate SIM card.

As students often to use their phone as soon as they arrive in France, we strongly recommend that they contact their providers BEFORE their departure. 

We hope that our advice can help ease your transition.
