Hi,

First off, thank you everyone who's contributed to this page, it is a wealth of information. I just have a quick question regarding SFR's La Carte Welcome.

In this article it mentions that if you do not register your sim within 15 days, the operator has to cut off your sim by  law.

Am I correct to assume that because of the 10 day validity of SFR's La Carte Welcome, you do not have to do this? I was reading their English webpage about it at http://www.sfr.fr/telephonie-mobile/sfr-la-carte/welcome/# and they make it sound like you can just buy a sim and the Welcome top up    from a tabac, Relay shop, or SFR Store, pop the sim in, activate it by calling 963, top up and away you go.

Is that possible because it's only valid for 10 days, less than the 15 day registration deadline? Or if I'm only going to be in France for a week, is it possible to not have to register?

Thanks for your advice.
