When you arrive in Europe or even en route, install the SIM card in your phone. Note that you will need someplace safe for the original card! Do it on a table or safe area, so if you drop the SIM card (about the size of your pinky fingernail) you can find it and safely put it away. Once the card is installed and the phone turned on, you will get a notice, telling you what your new number is (a French number), as well as some helpful hints and contact numbers if you have issues. It works BEAUTIFULLY - all your old texts, addresses and emails are still there, I used the phone throughout Spain, France and Italy, with no trouble at all. Note that when navigating in a city with large buildings, GPS satellite signals are often reflected, which confuses the GPS function when trying to ascertain directions. HOWEVER, it you mark the position of your hotel (for example) you can read exactly where you are by looking at the MAP.. Remember how to use those? A street name or two will tell you easily where you are on the map, and once you get away from all the tall buildings and stone structures (reflectiing, scattering and hiding the "view" of the satellites) you can use it for directions. You can send photos home or to the "cloud", again, all without fear of roaming or additional charges. Excellent!
