I highly recommend going to a storefront for Orange. I made the mistake of buying the mobicarte sim at a 3rd party store, and the guy was sort of useless. you have to be validated/registered to top up the phone with the cards you buy from a tabac. the Orange store rep did the work at the computer, photocopied my drivers license, then told me to try recharging the next day. sure enough it worked the next morning so I could subscribe to the Internet max option. it's been 11 hours, and I *think* it's active, trying to read the menus from the #123 menus.
