VirginMobile France has prepaid plans (cartes prepayées) and rolling contracts (forfaits). JoeMobile only has forfaits, no prepaid. With JoeMobile you can connect certain European credit cards to the contracts and some users have found workarounds with EntroPay and Neteller (see JoeMobile article).

The problem with Virgin in France is, that you need a French banking card (Carte Bancaire) or bank account for their contracts. If you have an international card working with the contracts, will you please let us know. We make this page for tourists, who normally don't have a French banking card/account.

That leaves us with the prepaid card of Virgin. They hide its tariffs here (in French): 5€ for 50 MB, 10€ for 100 MB, 20€ for 200 or 300 MB, 30€ for 300 or 500 MB and 50€ for 500 MB or 1 GB. You can hardly say, that this is a bargain or comparable to JoeMobile's rates.

I mean, there are many overpriced Wifi rentals in the list, I really would like to get rid of. So Virgin Mobile is not worse, but I really can't consider their prepaid card as a good offer.
