What is the cheapest way for me to get 3G internet access from my phone in France?
I am in the UK and have a 3G phone on T-Mobile which I use for checking email. I will be in France for two weeks and the roaming charges are about £1.50 per MB (which is crazy). What would be the cheapest way for me to get 3G in France - is it easy to get another sim?
How are England and France connected in terms of telephone lines?
When you call from France to England, is the connection an actual wire, or is it via satellite?

Double Taxation Treaty
Tax
It may have taken over four years in the making but on the 19 June 2008 a new version of the double taxation treaty between France and the UK was finally signed by the Rt. Hon Alistair Darling MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mme Christine Lagarde, the French Minister for the Economy, Industry and Employment.
The new treaty is expected to enter into force some time late 2009 provided all treaty adoption procedures (i.e. parliamentary approval, ratification and exchange of diplomatic notes) are completed.
Below is a summary of some of the key elements which could affect British citizens living in or moving to France should the new draft of the treaty be ratified and become law.
