TIP - if you can't understand, just remember the phrases for
"I don't speak French - do you speak English?"
Another TIP - if you're dailling the UK from France, you need to to dial the UK phone code
and number replacing the first 0 with 0044. If you're using your mobile,
check with your provider whether you need to do this, or whether you need to dial the number
just as you would when at home. Also, check you international roaming tariffs!
The main mobile networks in France are: SFR, Orange and Bouygues Télécom.
