Last time I left the US, I got a dumb phone for cheap off Amazon, bought a SIM when I got there. It worked, but it wasn't very useful; I was always wanted to do some web stuff while away from the hotel wifi and my tablet.
So I just looked at cellularabroad.com for this summer.
It's from the first thing in Google, lol, so not saying it's good!
This is an "oops"...won't work for a short rental unless your time overseas is short. In my case, I don't need the phone for the first 8 days. So I'd need to rent it for about 2 weeks. That would come out to a whopping $207 for 12 days instead of $117 for 3 days.

Just wondering if many folks do this. I think I'll book a hotel for the first night (done before I leave home), but that's about it...the rest I'll wing-it, and having an internet connection without seeking a wifi hotspot seems like a nice thing to have.Unlimited calls in France
Unlimited SMS in France
Unlimited incoming calls/text
5GB of data bundle for $49
Add a US number in addition to a French number (optional feature for $20)
Add optional insurance for $20
Just $0.24 per minute to the USA/Canada

This rental is for a period of time specified in Agreement. Equipment is expected to be returned to Cellular Abroad within the timeframe for which the Equipment was rented. Rental periods begin on the day of trip commencement. Packages are typically shipped for arrival 2 business days prior to departure. If the rental order is placed within this timeframe and/or the Renter needs to expedite shipment, he or she will be charged a commensurate amount for the more expensive shipping service. If the Renter needs to receive the package earlier than 2 business days before trip departure, the rental period shall commence 2 business days after delivery.
