Foreign Student looking for New Mobile Plan

[etudiante]

Hi! I'm a foreign student moving to Paris soon and I need to get a new mobile plan.

1) Do I choose a new number or choose to keep my number when ordering a contract? I do not possess a French number at the moment, but I want to make sure I don't cancel my home country number. 

2) When checking out, I need to enter a French number to proceed. I don't have one right now. What do I do? 

Hoping someone can help to answer or let me know where I can find answers. Thank you!

Hello @etudiante,

To answer your question, you will not be able to keep your foreigner number with a french operator. Using "portabilité" in France is only possible with a french phone number.

Hoping I was able to help you.

Have a nice day ! 🙂
